Maksoud Plaza used to be a luxury hotel in the early 90´s. Since them, it seems that the hotel does not receive recent investiment to maintain the old hight quality standards. Its still a five star hotel but it has equal level competitors offering better benefits for best rates. more

Like the previous poster I got a great deal on Expedia for this hotel, roughly $100, but no breakfast. We were charged R50 each for breakfast, there was a large sign to that effect, maybe this varies. This seemed a lot even though the breakfast is very good. We went up the road to the bakery a couple of times... more

When I arrived in Sao Paulo I thought after a 12 hr flight we deserved a decent few nights before we started our road trip, this hotel was the ideal choice. I wont bother with the ins and outs as the website does not lie and the pictures are totally acurate. The views over the city are stunning and the... more

I really liked this place and this it is a steal for what I paid ($110/night). Good service, nice spacious rooms, good location near Avenida Paulista and the surrounding area, close to the metro.

Stayed there for one night and got a good impression. Apparently, this is an ex top hotel. Today, it is a bit run down but the rooms are still an excellent value. Extremely impressive lobby too. more

This is mainly business area, not very touristy but has few good restaurants serving delicious food. Metro is very good so getting to the centre (Se, Republica) will get you there in 10min. Rooms are nice, spacious, clean and very comfortable. Hotel is... more

I chose this hotel based on my internet research, and my desire to stay in the Jardins area of Sao Paulo. I also had a great package deal through the website where I purchased the trip. It is a hi-rise, and from my 10th floor room, I had a good view out towards Avenida Paulista, which was one short block... more

We went to Sao Paulo to visit a friend and he suggested to stay at the Maksoud Plaza, but also warned us it is an expensive 5 star hotel. We are not sure if it was the time of the year we went but we got a Simplex Executive room for $150 per night. The hotel is an older 5... more
