Luxury hotelier Four Seasons has announced the opening of its latest property, Four Seasons Hotel and Residences São Paulo at Nações Unidas. The 258-room Hotel is located amid the leafy green spaces along the Pinheiros river in southern Sao Paulo. 

Really, I thought as I left the extraordinary super-luxury of Oetker’s Palácio Tangará, this place embodies luxury of today and, I think, tomorrow: space and nature, well-trained staff who smile and know when to keep out of the way, instant Wi-Fi, a bed that is marvellously supportive, superb Etro toiletries and a shower that is as simple as the light switches.
