São Paulo Lodge

São Paulo


This well-loved newcomer, which bills itself as a 'business hostel,' sits just 400m from Metrô Vila Mariana and within a few kilometers of Parque Ibirapuera. Segregated dorms are better than the lobby suggests, with artsy bookshelves, outlet-equipped lockers and air-conditioning; and a big communal kitchen faces a welcoming open-air indoor garden.
