The Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos is one of the most electrifying occurrences on the Formula 1 timetable. But as any enthusiast who has set foot in Brazil will tell you, the race weekend atmosphere is determined largely by the choice of lodgings. São Paulo is an enormous metropolitan hub, and with the forward and reverse motions of hotel, neighborhood, and safety to consider, your selection makes all the difference.
This guide shines a light on the top regions for fans, along with places to stay that fit a wide array of budgets — from trackside ease to posh digs in the city's heart.
The bulk of the fans stay in Jardins, Paulista Avenue, Morumbi, Campo Belo, or Pinheiros. These neighborhoods are central, well-connected, and safer than many other spots in the city. They also boast an array of dining and nightlife options—perfect, really, if your itinerary includes anything beyond just going to the race.
To be as close to the track as possible, you can also stay at one of the hotels that are located right around Interlagos. These aren't high-end in the way that the hotels uptown tend to be, but they are relatively convenient—if you are driving to the track, hotels near the track make for a much shorter commute.
You can reserve lodgings right at the raceway for sheer ease. Accommodations like Hotel Ibis, Interlagos São Paulo, Hotel Requinte, and Blue Tree Premium Verbo Divino are all within a few kilometers of the raceway and are simple, budget to mid-range hotels that should offer an easy commute on race days.
This area is not very animated when it's not race weekend, making it ideal for fans who want to be at the circuit most of the time.
If you want a main place to stay in São Paulo, consider these top picks.
Jardins: This is an upscale area with excellent restaurants, bars, and shopping. You’ll also be close to the metro, which makes getting around São Paulo much easier.
Paulista Avenue: It’s not quite as nice as the Jardins area, but there are still plenty of good restaurants, bars, and shops. And again, you’re close to the metro.
The best choices here are the Hotel Emiliano, a luxury boutique with fine dining; the InterContinental São Paulo, where comfort and service excel; and the Pestana São Paulo, a near-Ibirapuera-Park hotel that gives you more for your money.
The Morumbi and Brooklin districts are home to modern hotels in quieter business areas. Many teams and sponsors stay here during race weekend, which adds to the buzz. Hotels like the Grand Hyatt São Paulo deliver five-star luxury, while the Estanplaza International and Bristol The Time Berrini offer good quality at mid-range prices.
This is a smart choice if you want something more relaxed and secure without being too far from Interlagos.
Fans also recommend Campo Belo, Pinheiros, and Itaim Bibi. These neighborhoods are lively, full of dining options, and well connected by metro or taxi. One fan-favourite is the Clarion Faria Lima in Itaim Bibi, praised for its access to bars and restaurants.
A city of contrasts, São Paulo can feel overwhelming without the right base, especially during race weekend. Here are some areas to consider:
No matter where you choose to stay, make sure to book well in advance — the Brazilian Grand Prix is among the most sought-after races on the F1 schedule, and the finest places to lay your head fill up in a hurry.
