Hotel in sao paulo

Need advice on a hotel in Sao Paulo, looking for something in a centrally located area, safe, budget around US$100-US$120/night

You've got to be more specific. Sao Paulo's city center is larger than most cities in the world.

That rate is going to be hard to find in a 'standard' hotel in Sao Paulo. Hotel prices in Brazil, especially in the big cities, are soaring right now, perhaps in anticipation of the influx of tourists for the games (World Cup and Olympics).

The Ibis, a budget chain (and probably as cheap as you might find, unless a more basic pousada or hostel private room), shows U$132 per night for their location in Consolacao, central in that it is near Av. Paulista, near a metro stop, and in the Jardins neighborhood, there are many nice shops, restaurants and bars, the MASP museum, Trianon Park, etc. For comparison, the Marriott Renaissance hotel in Jardins, comfortable and with good service and amenities, is at U$498 per night minimum.

You don't want to be in what is considered 'downtown' (near Praca de Se) as it is not safe.

Not really. It gets confusing, because São Paulo is polycentric.

Thanks. I was recommended Ibis by others as well, I've stayed at their hotel when in Africa and they aren't bad, basic amenities.

You must be right. I only lived there for 35 years. Why do I know?

There are a bunch of hotels around Republica which fit your bill. I looked over a couple for friends visiting SP.

One is the Bourbon Business hotel on Vieira de Carvalho: it's part of busy commercial area just a block away from the airport bus terminal and Republica metro. There are other hotels on this street, but I didn't check them out.

The other is a recently converted/renovated hotel, the Maraba on Ipiranga. Even here, prices could be a bit over your budget, but they are negotiable.

Try the Novotel Ibirapuera... a bit old, but best bang for the buck around your price range
