The 98-room hotel, owned and developed by Tati Construtora e Incorporadora, features two dining restaurants, a fitness center and two indoor/outdoor meeting spaces.
“São Paulo was a natural choice for launching Hilton’s first lifestyle property in South America given its position among the world’s most popular destinations, with numerous museums, rich architectural tradition and award-winning restaurants,” said Phil Cordell, global category head, Hilton lifestyle & global brand head, Canopy by Hilton. “As people begin to travel again, we look forward to welcoming guests to Canopy São Paulo Jardins, which was created as a natural extension of the neighborhood to help visitors relax, recharge and experience the city like a local.”
