Lost in time and towering dreams 🌿✨
Rosewood São Paulo isn’t just a hotel — it’s a breathtaking dialogue between São Paulo’s elegant past and its wildly creative future.
On one side: the beautifully restored Matarazzo maternity building, all neoclassical grace, soft grey stone, arched windows, and whispering history (over half a million Brazilians took their first breath here!).
On the other: Jean Nouvel’s audacious vertical garden tower rising like a living skyscraper, wrapped in thousands of native plants, corten steel brises the color of Pau Brasil wood, and pure urban jungle energy.
Old-world charm meets vertical forest magic — classic meets contemporary in the most poetic way possible.
This is where heritage breathes again and nature reclaims the skyline. A true masterpiece of thoughtful revival and fearless innovation.
Who else needs to experience this harmonious masterpiece in person? 🇧🇷🏛️🌱

Fun fact about Central Park, New York. Spanning 843 acres, this iconic park was the first major landscaped public park in the United States and serves as a green oasis in the midst of Manhattan's urban sprawl. #UrbanOasis #NYCParks #glbnom Image Credit:@the_ameteurs on instagram

Spent time in my favorite center city oasis today - the garden at Pennsylvania Hospital near 8th & Pine. The breeze in the trees made it so cool pleasant. It is free and open to the public biz hrs. Enter thru the brick arch.

Took a tour once and the front door was never locked from 1751 until September 12, 2001. The Franklinia Altamaha was just fruiting so there were flowers but they were old.
