With easy access to the airport and to the heart of this prosperous business centre, the Grand Mercure Sao Paulo hotel offers its visitors a fabulous location with views over the green expanse of Ibirapuera Park. You can do your shopping at the nearby Ibirapuera shopping centre or take in some culture at the Museum of Modern Art. Sample a range of French and international dishes in the variety of restaurants on offer or simply relax by the pool. Our team is always on hand to provide a first-rate service.

Upon arriving, the best way to get to a hotel or into the city is via taxi. When travellers choose taxis, they should try to use the blue-and-white Guarucoop radio taxis from the airport. These taxis provide a flat rate from the Airport (approximately BRL 110-140 as of October 2011). They are reliable and generally safe, unlike some other “common” taxis. Taxis in the city is usually completely white (no strips) with red plaques. The common taxis are metered, with drives beginning at BRL4 and costing BRL 1.20 per Kilometre. Other options for those that prefer the comfort of the 'meet and greet' style service come in the form of executive taxi companies.  Taxis from Sao Paulo airport can also be booked online with companies such as Sao Paulo Airport Transfers, DotTransfers, Concierge Car and OnWay Executive Car Services who charge a flat rate and allow travellers to book prior to arriving at Sao Paulo airport.  Regardless of what taxi option one takes, the ride to the city should take around 45 minutes from the International Airport during off peak hours, but can take up to 2 hours during peak travel times.
