Palácio Tangará

A nature haven nestled in Brazil’s largest metropolis, Palácio Tangará offers 141 spacious rooms inside one of the city’s most beautiful green areas, the Burle Marx Park. Opened in 2017, this is the first South American venture from luxury European hotel company Oetker Collection. The park itself served as a private garden in the 1940s to a wealthy businessman who commissioned Roberto Burle Marx, one of Brazil’s most famous landscapers, to design the area. Palácio Tangará’s own landscape designer, Sergio Santana, was able to masterfully integrate the hotel’s modern facilities into the lush greenery and clear lagoons of the existing park, which were already home to a vast array of tropical plants and exotic bird species that you can view from the comfort of your sumptuous Sao Paulo room. When you can pull yourself away from the verdant surroundings, visit Tangará Jean-Georges, world-renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s first restaurant in South America, for cuisine with a Brazilian slant. Or relax in the hotel’s Flora Spa, helmed by Sisley — get a facial, a specialty of the French skin care brand. No matter what you choose, you’ll find that Palácio Tangará is truly an urban oasis.
