Choose the Brazilian city for your stay

São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro offer two different starting points for a Brazil hotel search. São Paulo puts a large urban cultural and business destination into the itinerary. Rio combines a city visit with a coastal setting. Choose the places you want to experience before dividing the hotel nights.

São Paulo for an urban base

São Paulo hotels suit a stay in the metropolis itself. Its different neighbourhoods offer different outings and dining settings, so choose the address around the parts of the city on your plans.

São Paulo city and the wider state are separate search scopes. A property elsewhere in the state may serve a countryside or coastal visit rather than the urban stay you intended.

Rio for a city-and-coast visit

Rio de Janeiro accommodation provides another city base. Its beaches and neighbourhood culture give a holiday a different focus from São Paulo. Choose between accommodation selected for time near the coast and a location centred on other urban outings.

A Rio address does not make every hotel beachfront. For a longer journey from the Philippines that includes both cities, give each its own stay and local shortlist. The country page introduces the destinations; the city guides can help refine the neighbourhood once the route is clear.
