São Paulo, Brazil · Independent · High Luxury
Ruy Ohtake's 2002 Hotel Unique is a 100-meter inverted concrete arch in São Paulo's Jardins: six floors, 95 rooms, and 1.8-meter round windows under a seven-story zoning cap, a shape locals still compare to a boat or a watermelon. Rooftop Skye, from chef Emmanuel Bassoleil since opening, looks toward Ibirapuera Park. Interiors are by João Armentano.

About Hotel Unique

- Rooftop restaurant Skye has been led since opening by chef Emmanuel Bassoleil.
- Interior designer João Armentano fitted the rooms; landscape architect Gilberto Elkis designed the gardens.
