Luxury São Paulo Living: Blue Tree Premium Faria Lima Awaits
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the whirlwind of Luxury São Paulo Living: Blue Tree Premium Faria Lima. Forget the polished brochures, I'm about to give you the real deal. And let's be honest, after a long flight, all you really want is a stiff drink, a comfy bed, and zero hassles, right?
Accessibility: The Good, The (Potentially) Could-Be-Better…
Okay, so, accessibility is critical. We're talking about real people needing real solutions here. Blue Tree Premium says it's got facilities for disabled guests. That's a good start, but that tagline can be a slippery slope. I'd want to see specifics: how wide are those doorways? Are the ramps actually usable? Is there a grab bar situation in the bathroom? Honestly, the website is pretty vague on these points. This is where I get a little skeptical. I'd suggest calling them directly and asking some pointed questions. Don't be shy! If they're not ready, willing, and able to spell out the details, that would give me pause. (And hey, if you have experience here, tell me in the comments! We need the intel.)
On-Site Grub & Booze: Fueling the São Paulo Adventure
Alright, let's talk about the good stuff. The eating stuff. Blue Tree appears to have restaurants, a coffee shop, a snack bar, and a poolside bar. YES! (I'm a sucker for a poolside bar. Especially after a long day of, well, not doing much in a new city!) They mention Asian and International cuisine, and even a vegetarian restaurant. Score! And buffet breakfasts? Also, YES. Just thinking about that spread has me salivating. What's the quality like, though? The reviews will be my guide. (And you bet I'm ordering room service at least once. That's non-negotiable.) They're also talking about "Happy Hour." Consider me there.
Wheelchair Accessibility: More Questions Than Answers (Again!)
I'm going to double down on the accessibility here. While the hotel claims to be wheelchair accessible, I need to see it to believe it. Websites can be deceiving. I'm not sure if I could bring my Aunt Susan here, she’s a handful and I need to know for sure Is this just a check-box exercise, or does it truly cater to guests of all abilities? Again, call them. Get specific. Ask about the pool's access, the elevator situation, and those all-important bathroom details.
Internet: The Digital Lifeline (Thank Goodness!)
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? Bless. This is a non-negotiable in this day and age. I need to be able to post my Insta stories, check my emails, and, let's be honest, binge-watch Netflix after a full day of being a tourist. They also offer internet [LAN], which is a plus. (Remember LAN parties? Good times.)
Things to Do (Besides Eating and Sleeping):
Okay, so you're not just going to eat and sleep, right? Blue Tree Premium has a fitness center (gotta try to work off all that delicious buffet!), a pool with a view (YES to those views!), a sauna, a spa, steamroom, and massage services. Alright, sold! After a long day of exploring São Paulo, I'm envisioning myself sinking into a deep massage. Perfect. Body scrubs and body wraps? Tempting. But me? I'm all about the serious relaxation.
Cleanliness and Safety: The New Normal (Thank Goodness)
This is a big deal post-pandemic. Anti-viral cleaning products, room sanitization between stays, daily disinfection in common areas – checking all my boxes. Hand sanitizer readily available? Excellent. They're also using a cashless payment system – a good thing. Staff trained in safety protocol? Wonderful. I'm hoping the rooms are actually sanitized and not just given a quick wipe-down. I still have a little lingering anxiety after all that has happened.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: The Heart of the Hotel (Probably)
Breakfast [buffet] is a definite appeal; I'm not a morning person, but I am a breakfast person. Asian and Western breakfast options? Excellent. I love a good international spread. The a la carte menu in the restaurant is nice if you want something a little more formal. I’m also intrigued by a juice bar. The poolside bar, I've already said, is a massive draw. A snack bar is also a good thing, since I will probably need a place to grab for a quick snack.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
Okay, so they have 24-hour room service (another win!), a concierge (helpful for navigating a new city), daily housekeeping (because who wants to make their bed on vacation?), and laundry/dry cleaning. They even offer a car park [free of charge]. Score! That means less faffing around with expensive parking garages. The hotel does have a gym, I will probably use in the morning, so I can avoid the crowds.
For the Kids: Family-Friendly? Maybe?
Babysitting service and kids’ meals are available. It's certainly got potential for families.
Access: Getting In and Out
24-hour front desk, express and private check-in/out. Excellent for a smooth arrival. Also, baggage storage. Score!
Available in all rooms: The Home Away from Home
Air Conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobes? Yes, please! Blackout curtains? Very important for sleep. Coffee/tea maker? Crucial for the caffeine addict. Daily housekeeping, desk, extra long bed, free bottled water, hair dryer, in-room safe? All are nice. The availability of a laptop workspace is a bonus.
Getting Around: The City Shuffle
Airport transfer and taxi service help to get you there. A free car park is a plus, but I'm not sure if I will need a car.
My Honest (And Maybe Slightly Messy) Take:
Okay, here's the deal. Blue Tree Premium Faria Lima sounds promising. The location is prime, the amenities are tempting, and the commitment to safety protocols is reassuring. But I need proof on the accessibility front. I need to know, really know, that the hotel caters to all guests.
Here's the real selling point: the potential for a truly relaxing and enjoyable stay. Imagine: you've arrived, you dump your bags, you head straight to the pool bar for a Caipirinha (or three), you get a massage in the spa, you sample the breakfast buffet, and then you explore the vibrant city of São Paulo. Luxury São Paulo Living? It could be a reality.

Unbelievable Bangkok Luxury: OYO 1089 Baan Boran Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercup, because this isn't your grandma's pristine itinerary. We're talking São Paulo, baby, and we're doing it my way. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy, beautiful ride. We're starting at the Blue Tree Premium Faria Lima, because, well, it's as good a starting point as any.
Day 1: Arrival, Jetlagged Jitters, and the Elusive Perfect Caipirinha
- Morning (ish) - The Blue Tree's Embrace (and My Struggle): Landed in Guarulhos, wrestled with the airport shuffle (seriously, why is every airport a labyrinth?), finally, finally at the Blue Tree. Okay, room's nice enough, standard business hotel fare. But that jetlag, oh that cruel mistress. My brain feels like scrambled eggs. First order of business: coffee. Strong, black, and hopefully enough to get me through the day without drooling on myself.
- Afternoon - The Faria Lima Blitz: Okay, gotta explore the neighborhood, right? Faria Lima is… well, it's banking central. Suits everywhere. Reminds me of a slightly better-dressed version of Wall Street, except with much better coffee shops. Wandered around, getting a feel for the place. Found an amazing little bakery – pastry game strong, people. Seriously strong. Ate three. No regrets.
- Evening - Caipirinha Quest & Food Fails (and Wins!): Tonight, the mission is a caipirinha. The perfect caipirinha. I'm picturing lime, sugar, cachaça, pure heaven. Walked a block to a bar that looked promising, ordered my drink. Disaster. Too sweet, too weak, tasted like lime-flavored sadness. Sulked. Found another place, tried again. Slightly better, but still not the holy grail. Started feeling a little defeated.
- Anecdote Time: Met this guy, Luis, at the second bar. He saw my face and knew something was up. Turns out he's a local, a caipirinha connoisseur. Offered to take me to his spot tomorrow. Faith in humanity: restored (sort of). Dinner was at a churrascaria. Meat, meat, glorious meat. My carnivorous side was very happy. Ate so much I could barely waddle back to the hotel. Worth it. Totally worth it.
Day 2: Art, Architecture, and the Real São Paulo
- Morning (with a lingering hangover): Luis's legendary caipirinha was indeed legendary. Woke up with a slight headache, but the memories… oh, the memories.
- Late Morning - MASP, Baby! The São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP). Whoa. The building itself is a work of art. Those iconic red pillars! Totally Instagram-worthy. Actually went inside, looked at the art. Some of it blew me away, some of it… made me scratch my head. But the experience was incredible. It's one of those places where you feel like you're actually learning something. Even if its just where some of the best coffee stalls in the area are.
- Afternoon - Walking São Paulo: Decided to walk instead of take a cab. Got lost (naturally). Saw amazing street art, stumbled upon a hidden park. Felt like I was really experiencing the city, not just seeing it from a car window. The colors, the sounds, the vibe… São Paulo is alive.
- Quirk Alert: The sheer number of people on scooters. It’s like a constant low hum of engines. And the traffic?? Forget about it. But it’s also kinda… beautiful in its chaos.
- Evening - Little Italy Adventure: Luis had recommended a vibrant neighborhood called Bixiga, known for its Italian restaurants, music, and general craziness. Found a place with live music, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was electric. Felt like a million miles away from the suit district of Faria Lima. This is the real São Paulo, finally!
Day 3: Markets, Memories, and Goodbye (for Now)
- Morning - Mercado Municipal: The Municipal Market! People, prepare yourselves for sensory overload. Fruit, spices, cheeses, meats… it's a foodie's paradise. Tried a pastrami sandwich the size of my head. Almost died of happiness. Bought some souvenirs (mostly edible). I'm going to be so broke by the end of this trip.
- Afternoon - (Attempted) Shopping and Emotional Overload: Faria Lima is actually a shopper's paradise, now that I think about it. Found a cool independent designer and bought a handmade bag; I needed an excuse to buy it, and I got it. I was sad to leave it.
- Evening - Farewell Feast & Reflecting: Decided to revisit that churrascaria from my first night. Needed one last meat-fest before I flew home. Sat there, nursing a glass of wine, watching the São Paulo night lights twinkle.
- Emotional Whirlwind: This trip, it was more than just a vacation. It was an experience, a journey, a learning curve. The city? Chaotic, beautiful, overwhelming, and utterly captivating. Made me feel alive, made me think, made me laugh, made me want to immediately book another flight. The messy, imperfect, beautiful heart of this city found a way into my heart, I am going to miss it.
- Departure: Back to the airport. The jetlag has worn off, replaced by something even better: a whole lot of incredible memories.
Post-Trip Rambling (Because I Need to Vent):
Okay, so maybe this itinerary wasn't perfect. Maybe I got lost a lot. Maybe I ate way too much meat. Maybe I spent a small fortune on caipirinhas. Does it matter? Absolutely not. This trip was real. This trip was me.
This is São Paulo, folks. Embrace the mess, the chaos, the imperfections. You'll be surprised at how much you end up loving it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a long flight home to dream about, and also plan a new trip, maybe to Salvador.
Bali's BEST Kept Secret: Amed's Diver's Cafe & Bungalows!
Okay, let's be honest: Is the Blue Tree Premium Faria Lima *actually* luxurious, or is it just… pricey?
Oh, honey. Deep breaths. Look, "luxury" in São Paulo is a tricky beast. It's like, you get a glimpse of perfection, then *BAM*…reality slaps you in the face with a traffic jam bigger than your ex's ego. With the Blue Tree? It's a mix. The lobby? Stunning. That marble, those chandeliers… you feel like you should be wearing a tiara. Then you get to your room and think, “Wait, is this *really* a luxury suite?”
I remember the first time. I was SO excited, booked a whole dang weekend retreat for myself, visions of champagne breakfasts and spa treatments dancing in my head. The room *was* nice, don't get me wrong. But that tiny, TINY minibar! I mean, come ON! And the view… well, it *was* of the city. A very *busy* city. I’d almost say it was, in parts, "a view-butchering symphony of construction cranes." So, yeah... luxury, but with a healthy dose of São Paulo pragmatism thrown in. Is that a real word? Probably not. Does it make sense? You BET.
The key is setting expectations. It's not the Burj Al Arab, alright? But it's definitely a cut above a budget motel. Plan around the traffic – factor that into the *luxury* experience – and you'll be good.
What's the deal with the location in Faria Lima? Is it actually convenient, or just… *pretends* to be?
Faria Lima. Ah, the beating heart (and artery-clogging traffic) of São Paulo. The Blue Tree is *right* in the thick of it. Let's be clear: convenience comes at a cost. Namely, your sanity. And possibly, a small patch of hair that turns gray while you're stuck in the aforementioned traffic.
Okay, so here's the deal: You’re surrounded by amazing restaurants, high-end shops, and some truly spectacular people-watching opportunities. Fantastic! BUT… getting anywhere *else*? Buckle up, buttercup. I swear, I learned to meditate while waiting for a taxi on Faria Lima. The upside? Uber is everywhere. The downside? Uber prices spike during rush hour (which, let's be real, is basically all the time) and if you DO choose to hire a driver, the constant honking will make you want to chuck a particularly aggressive guava out the window.
My advice? Embrace the chaos. Walk when you can (but be prepared for the sun. And the humidity. And the occasional… questionable aroma wafting from a nearby street vendor.) Or just stay put and enjoy being surrounded by everything. It's a double-edged sword, this location. But mostly cool. I think.
The Breakfast: Is it as amazing as the photos make it look? Because let's be real, hotel breakfasts can be a letdown.
The breakfast! Okay, this is where the Blue Tree *mostly* redeems itself. The photos are, thankfully, pretty accurate. There's a *lot* of stuff. A buffet of the ages. Freshly squeezed juices (always a win!), pastries, cheeses, the works. You feel like royalty! For about twenty minutes, until the inevitable existential dread of “why am I eating so much food” kicks in.
I remember one morning… I was hungover (shush, don’t judge!). I went in there looking like death warmed over, and I swear, the sheer abundance of food almost brought me back to life. There were so many tiny, delicious things like little quiches, that you could never have just one… I gorged. Pure, unadulterated gorging. Afterwards? A food coma of epic proportions. But a *happy* one. That's the true magic of the Blue Tree breakfast. It's almost worth the cost of the room, honestly.
Just… pace yourself. Seriously. And maybe bring a friend to help you navigate the sheer vastness of it all. And be prepared to feel a smidge guilty afterwards. But hey, you're on vacation (sort of)! Indulge a little.
What about the spa and gym? Are they worth the hype (and the price)? I've heard mixed things.
Okay, the spa and gym situation is… complicated. The gym? It's fine. Clean, modern equipment, the usual. But let's be honest, how many of us *actually* go to the gym on vacation unless you’re one of those ridiculously disciplined fitness gurus? I mean, I *think* I went once. Maybe. I vaguely recall looking at the treadmills. Then going back to my room for more pastries.
The spa, though… now, that's a different story. Here's a truth bomb: Spa experiences can be wildly inconsistent. One treatment can be heavenly, the next… a bit, well, meh. The Blue Tree's spa? It has its moments of glory, but it's not always consistent. I once had a massage that was truly transcendent. I floated out of there feeling like I'd shed ten years and all my worries. Then, on my next visit, the masseuse was… less enthusiastic. Let's just say, the experience wasn't particularly relaxing. Lesson learned: do your research. Read the reviews. Ask around. And maybe pack some of your own favorite spa essentials. The facilities themselves are nice, but the human element can be a crapshoot.
And the price? Yeah, it's on the higher end. Decide if you value yourself enough. If it's "yes", then you're in luck. If "no", then maybe just buy a nice bath bomb from that corner store and call it a day.
The Rooms Themselves: Are they comfortable? What *really* matters in a luxury hotel room, anyway?
The rooms...Ah, the rooms are the core of the operation. This is where you spend the bulk of the time, so you want it to deliver, yeah? They're comfortable, mostly. Beds are generally plush. Pillows...again, inconsistent. One time I got pillows that felt like clouds. Another time? I got pillows that seemed to be stuffed with bricks. You roll the dice. Hope for the best. The decor is… fine. Modern, functional. Not particularly memorable, but perfectly acceptable. The important thing is the cleanliness, and the noise levels.
What REALLY matters in a luxury hotel room? For me, it's the little things. Powerful water pressure in the shower (YES!), a decent-sized TV with a good selection of channels (essential for those lazy, guilt-free days), and, most importantly, a very, VERY effective blackout blind. You want to block out that São Paulo sun. Otherwise, you will get burnt to a crisp, and wake up with the sun right in your face, and you'll resent going back. And of course, a *really* good coffee machine. Because let's be honest, you can't function without caffeine, especially after those late nights out. Seriously, a good coffee machine can make or break your entire morning. I’ve stayed at places with terrible coffee machines, and I became a raging, caffeine-deprived monster. So yeah. The rooms? They’re... fine. But pray for good pillows, and even better coffee.
