Frommer's "Sleek, stylish, cool -- from the moment you walk through the large metal doors you know this place is different." Full review
Lonely Planet "Inspired by the work of Philippe Starck, this hotel manages to be at once fashion-forward and reasonably priced." Full review
BlackBook "Au courant hotel is a surprise find in the center. White lobby with glossy black banquette sets the colorway for the rest of the place."
Rough Guide "The designer “look” in the public areas – white and chrome, with sparse red splashes – was great when new, but needed more care than it’s had."

"The 95-room Hotel Unique is a trendy pick near Sao Paulo's equivalent of Central Park." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Shaped like a slice of watermelon, this 95-room property created by renowned Brazilian architect Ruy Ohtake is a design junkie’s dream." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The most self-consciously designer hotel in Brazil, the Unique is a giant half-orange on stilts, with 7-ft (2-m) wide porthole windows and a splendid cavernous lobby."
Star Service "Within walking distance of Parque Ibirapuera and the Modern Art Museum, and bordering the jungle environment of the Pan American building, this property is fresh and dramatic." Full review
BlackBook "Architect Oscar Niemeyer's apprentice Ruy Ohtake took a step away from his boss' penchant for concrete and headed natural, with weathered copper siding and wood to visually stabilize."
Rough Guide "Paulo’s most fashionable Ruy Ohtake-designed hotel looks rather like an extraterrestrial cruise ship."

"Far from being gimmicky, however, the luxury hotel strikes a balance between stylish and eccentric." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "An ambitious architectural wonder in South America’s biggest city, packed with decadent delight for glamorous grown-ups, from the ruby-red rooftop pool to the oversized porthole bedroom windows." Full review
