Concrete jungle: the Hilton Sao Paulo Morumbi's top concierge on visiting Brazil's business capital, Sao Paulo.Could you recommend a restaurant for either a business lunch or dinner in Sao Paulo, other than your own at the hotel? I always recommend a traditional restaurant, Terrago Italia, downtown, because it has a great view of the city. The restaurants in Jardins and Vila Olimpia also are ideal because they are located in a great area and, after their meal, guests can enjoy nearby bars and dance clubs. Parede, on Amauri Street, is a good choice in Vila Olimpia. If I travel with a large group, say for a conference, what are some good ways to see the city? If guests have time, a tour of the city with a bilingual guide is ideal. We offer this service at the hotel. It lasts three to five hours, starts at the square known as praca da Se, and then we go to the calcadao [pedestrian shopping area] on 15 de Novembro Street, and Ibirapuera Park Ibirapuera Park (in Portuguese Parque do Ibirapuera) is a major urban park in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. It has a large area for leisure, jogging and walking, as well as a convention center. . We also visit Morumbi Stadium and the Silo silo, watertight and airtight structure for making and storing silage. Silos vary in form from a covered pit, such as was used by the early Romans, to the modern storage tower, dating from the 19th cent. Paulo Art Museum. What is the best way to impress a client on a day off? It depends on the client, but generally a guided tour guided tour guide n → visite guidée; what time does the guided tour start? → la visite guidée commence à quelle heure? of the historical area of the city, like a church, the Igreja Silo Bento A data structure used to store embedded documents in an OpenDoc compound document. Bento, which stands for lunch box in Japanese, provides a "container" to hold the data and a format for defining its contents. , then the top floor of the Banespa building, which has the best view of the city, and dinner in Jardins is a great plan. A helicopter ride is also quite impressive and gives one a good sense of the size of the city. Are there good golf courses or a golf club near the hotel? What about tennis courts? Rede Play Tennis has two locations near the hotel, and they have three kinds of indoor courts, and instructors. The hotel has an agreement with two golf clubs, the Guarapiranga Gold & Country Club, which offers rental equipment and caddy A plastic container that holds a CD or DVD disc for added protection. The bare disc is placed in the caddy, and the caddy is inserted into the drive. A caddy is not a jewel case. A jewel case protects the disc for transportation. A caddy protects the disc while reading and writing. service, and the Sao Fernando Golf Club. Could you recommend two shopping areas? I would recommend a visit to Daslu, a high-end shopping mall that has stores with the world's top brands. The Morumbi Shopping Center shopping center, a concentration of retail, service, and entertainment enterprises designed to serve the surrounding region. The modern shopping center differs from its antecedents—bazaars and marketplaces—in that the shops are usually amalgamated into is just 15 minutes away and the hotel offers transportation there every hour. It is ideal for the foreign guest who wants to shop in Brazilian stores. The mall's bottom floor has 13 excellent restaurants featuring cuisines from around the world, as well as Rufino's, the city's top seafood seafood Edible aquatic animals excluding mammals, but including both freshwater and ocean creatures. Seafood includes bony and cartilaginous fishes, crustaceans, mollusks, edible jellyfish, sea turtles, frogs, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. restaurant.
