As for that being THE area to stay, that depends on you, your interests and the level of grittiness you're comfortable with. Jardins is undeniably smart, comfortable, strategically located, with plenty going on. I'd opt for the Paulista edge of the area and the Tivoli or Intercontinental if you want brands and luxe. Deeper in Jardins are the Fasano and Emiliano at easily twice the price of the Intercontinental brigade. There are, of course, better value Jardinian options: even an Ibis Budget.
