Set inside a private slice of Atlantic rainforest, Palácio Tangará is São Paulo's great escape, a Burle Marx-designed park hotel with Jean-Georges Vongerichten cooking at its heart.
Highlights
Michelin-starred cooking from Jean-Georges Vongerichten's only South American restaurant
Set within Burle Marx Park, one of São Paulo's last Atlantic rainforest pockets
Lancôme Absolue Spa set beneath tranquil private gardens
A private wine cellar holding more than 280 labels
Arrive through the gates of Burle Marx Park and the city disappears, replaced by one of the last pockets of Atlantic rainforest inside São Paulo's metropolitan sprawl. Palácio Tangará's colonial-style architecture, with floor-to-ceiling French doors and windows, gives the sense of stepping into an eighteenth-century Parisian residence set down in tropical parkland.
The hotel's 141 rooms, including 59 suites, all look out over the park, many with private balconies or terraces. At Tangará Jean-Georges, chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's only South American restaurant, Michelin-recognised tasting menus and an à la carte selection are served alongside a wine cellar holding more than 280 labels, with a chef's table for more intimate groups. Pateo do Palácio offers a softer, Mediterranean-inspired menu in a garden courtyard, while Flora Spa, run by Sisley, sits beneath the hotel surrounded by private gardens.
For Scott Dunn guests, Palácio Tangará offers something rare in a city of this scale: genuine quiet, framed by rainforest canopy rather than traffic. It is a hotel that rewards slowing down, whether over a six-course tasting menu at Tangará Jean-Georges or an afternoon by the pool listening to birdsong instead of the city beyond the trees.
