O , yes... this is the place where you might see celebrities... We bumped into Milton Nascimento ( famous musician in the same bracket as Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso...)
This hotel is called Unique and it is... Conceived by a famous architect ( sorry , no name , I'm not into architecture...) it looks like a slice of watermelon with the curvy side down... or like a boat.... The windows are the watermelon seeds... The lobby is impressively minimalistic and there's a creek flowing through it ( if I remember right ) The hallways on the room floors are somewhat reminiscent of a purple labyrinth... The rooms on the edges have curved walls.... The pool on the rooftop is long and narrow and blood red....
Windows are round like big bull eyes...
This is not a highrise so the view from the rooms is not breathtaking and in the back really nothing special at all while you can see Ibirapuera Park from the front windows. But on the rooftop you get an impressive look at the São Paulo highrise silhouette along Ave Paulista and the Jardins area.
As Camila and I were standing on the edge of the hotel admiring the view , what a coincidence (!!!!) , we remarked that on the roof of the adjacent building , some 15 meters from us and 6 meters below they were shooting kind of a Playboy photo session.... Some 6 or 7 guys and 2 women ( production team) standing around while one beautifull , sexy and stark naked woman was being photographed......
Camila and I cheered , whistled and held the thumbs up and most of them including the model waved and smiled back at us.....
Do NOT count on having this kind of "exceptionally good and breathtaking" view everytime you go there , no matter how unique the place is....
