Can you reccommend a nice hotel for a two night stay before taking a Princess Cruise?
São Paulo city is not a port. I believe your cruiser will dock in Santos/SP.
Santos is a big city and many hotels are there:
* Parque Balneario; Av Ana Costa, 555
* Mendes Plaza; Av Floriano Peixoto, 42
There are some interesting bathing resorts in Guarujá(wath the linked map ).
The beaches from Guarujá are much better than Santos.

You may find dozens bus trips from São Paulo to Santos at Jabaquara subway station.

Hello! Guy, there are several hotels in Sao Paulo, near the port. So, I recommend you get in a hotel guide that is easier to choose one that fit your needs. This site: http://www.hoteis.com/de160256/hoteis-em-sao-paulo-brasil/ shows very important information, as the location and what has for close.
Take it all in, especially the restaurants. Get out, take a taxi and see the museums, the parks, people! Keep your money out of sight, take little or nothing with you and enjoy being immersed in the enormity of Sao Paulo. The food, especially the churrascaria, although the Italian restaurants are hard to beat.
For those interested in railroad equipment, the Immigrants Museum has a number of interesting items on its property.
Those items include two wood burning steam locomotives - one of them a fairly large Pacific 4-6-2 type locomotive, and the other a tiny 0-4-0 switcher. There are also a number of beautiful passenger cars, and equipment in storage waiting for restoration.
There are some photos and information about the big locomotive and some photos and information about the little engine on the web site of the immigrants museum.
The tourist map at the São Paulo Metro suggests getting off at the Bresser Station. The Brás station is closer. See my tips on the Metro system for more information on finding things on the Metro system.

Located in its namesake hotel, Emiliano Restaurant is considered one of the most sophisticated Italian restaurants in São Paulo. It gives the Fasano group, both the hotel and restaurant, stiff competition. A meal here is memorable, but drains the wallet for sure.
If your time is short, why not go on a guided city tour?
It might also work nicely if you want to have a quick look at things before deciding upon the places you want to return to and explore.

- SP Glamour
- SP Bem-estar (Well-being)
