The hotel opens in Jardins, founded by Victor Siaulys, the pharmaceutical entrepreneur behind Laboratórios Aché.
Ruy Ohtake, a protégé of Niemeyer, designs a 25-metre building shaped as a 100-metre inverted arc, working within the district’s seven-storey limit.
Its silhouette is likened to a boat or a slice of watermelon.
Designer João Armentano creates the interiors.
Founder Victor Siaulys dies; his family continues to run the hotel.
