Pousada Dona Ziláh

São Paulo


This Av Paulista–adjacent 1932 mansion in Higienópolis has a long, steeped history in São Paulo comfort. The six rooms aren't flash but offer upgraded comforts, especially where the exquisitely tiled bathrooms are concerned, and extensive, fountain-drenched gardens that are watered with filtered shower and sink water.
