Frommer's Exceptional

Though more expensive than almost any other hotel in São Paulo, the Emiliano is a bargain compared to what a room like this would cost in New York or Paris. It's five-star treatment all the way, from the welcome massage to the minibar stocked according to your preference, to the personalized selection of pillows, carefully fluffed and placed on your Egyptian cotton sheets. The Emiliano offers two types of rooms: deluxe studios and suites. The studios (really just a large room) are marginally cheaper, but is this really the time to skimp? The prime rooms are the fabulous, spacious suites. These come decorated with designer furniture and feature original artwork and the latest home entertainment electronics. The bed is king-size and the bathroom is a minispa in itself; toiletries are customized to your skin type and you can sit back and relax in the claw-foot tub, maybe watch a little TV, or contemplate life on your heated toilet seat.
