Marriott International has announced plans to debut its Westin brand in the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo.
The new-build Westin Hotel Sao Paulo will be located in the city’s Itaim Bibi district, and is scheduled to open in spring 2024 within the JK Square mixed-use development, which will also offer retail, office and residential space.
Features will include 187 rooms and suites, a second floor restaurant, and a leisure area on the third floor with swimming pool and fitness centre. Marriott also said that the hotel would offer “conference and meeting rooms of multiple sizes for different needs”.
The Sao Paulo property will be just the third Westin hotel in South America, joining the existing Westin Lima Hotel and Convention Center in Peru, and forthcoming all-inclusive Westin Porto de Galinhas in northeastern Brazil.
