The only transit hotel option within GRU is a fairly expensive (US$25 an hour) Fast Sleep. I used the showers there once or twice when the old Red Carpet Club showers were busted.

Just arrived at ORD from GRU. There were bears in F and J classes (but no slippers). I asked an FA about their sleep last night and they mentioned it was noisy (construction next to their hotel). They indicated that it was the cockpit crew that made the decision to cancel IAH. I'm glad the ORD crew stuck it out and got me home on time. Side note: Brazilian seafood stew, new this quarter, is tasty.

OP: any update? Curious to know how things worked out for you? Sounds like your in the Star Alliance Lounge in GRU ( they have a desk there with good people) have been there several times this year. Looks to me all were accomodated based on the seat chart of 104 tomorrow (only 1 booked in J)
