About this hotel
General information
Palácio Tangará is an urban resort in São Paulo, wrapped in the tropical greenery of Burle Marx Park. Its story goes back to the late 1940s, when the industrialist Francisco Pignatari commissioned Oscar Niemeyer and Roberto Burle Marx to create a mansion with lavish gardens for his wife. The marriage ended and the house was later demolished, but the gardens lived on as a large public park. The hotel now revives the original idea of a grand retreat set within the city.
There are 141 spacious rooms, 59 of them suites, and every one looks out over the park. Interiors are by the Brazilian studios Bick Simonato and Anastassiadis, who gave each space its own concept: classic lines with contemporary accents and materials drawn from nature. Service follows European traditions while the mood is distinctly Brazilian, and nine event spaces include the Cristal Ballroom for up to 400 guests. It suits a romantic break as easily as a family stay.
Location
The hotel stands in the Panamby district of São Paulo, beside Burle Marx Park — around 1.5 million m² of natural parkland that is home to monkeys, toucans, parrots and woodpeckers. The city’s business, leisure and cultural districts are within easy reach; sights the hotel recommends include Lina Bo Bardi’s Glass House in Morumbi, Ibirapuera Park and MASP on Avenida Paulista. The concierge arranges airport transfers and other journeys.
Spa
Lancôme Absolue Spa has five treatment rooms, a dry sauna and a steam room, offering facial and body treatments and three styles of spa day. The spa also houses the US3 studio for cuts, styling, colour, manicures, pedicures and waxing. Spa guests also have the indoor and outdoor pools, the hot tub and the gym.
Sports & leisure
Leisure revolves around the pools, the gym and the park beyond the windows.
- 24-hour gym with Technogym equipment
- heated semi-Olympic indoor pool with hot tub, and a heated butterfly-shaped outdoor pool
- tennis and beach tennis at the nearby BTG Arena, complimentary for guests at set hours
