Suíte Pátio Paulista 1404
A rooftop pool and sauna above Paulista
About this hotel
The rooftop swimming pool at Suíte Pátio Paulista 1404 sits above a stretch of the city where the towers thin out just enough to read as a proper skyline rather than a wall, and that gap is what makes the afternoon up there worth the trip. A small group can move between the rooftop pool and the indoor pool and sauna without ever leaving the building, which suits a stay built around recovery as much as sightseeing. Rooms with a kitchenette and city view give couples somewhere to cook a simple dinner instead of always going out, and the Brazilian restaurant downstairs covers the nights nobody wants to cook. Two kilometres from the Metropolitan Cathedral and within reach of MASP and Ibirapuera Park, the location does the daytime work while the rooftop keeps the evenings, the pool holding the last of the light long after the streets below have gone quiet.

Our take
Suíte Pátio Paulista 1404 is built for a small group or couple who want a genuine rooftop pool plus a backup indoor pool and sauna for a rainy or cooler evening, all within a modest 41-review, 9.4-rated property rather than a large chain tower. The kitchenette and Brazilian restaurant mean self-catering and eating out are both easy options. Guests wanting a big-name brand, a rooftop bar with cocktail service, or a large-scale resort feel should look elsewhere, since this is a smaller residential-style building where the pool and sauna are the main event rather than a wider hotel program built around them.
- ✓Head to the rooftop pool by mid-afternoon, before the towers start throwing longer shadows across the deck.
- ✓Save the sauna and indoor pool for a cooler evening after the rooftop crowd has thinned out.
- ✓Cook a simple dinner in with the kitchenette, then walk the two kilometres to the Metropolitan Cathedral the next morning.
