Sables Hotel Guarulhos: Your Luxurious Brazilian Getaway Awaits!
Forget the Beach, Ditch the Souvenirs: Sables Hotel Guarulhos is WHERE You Actually Want to Be. (Seriously)
Okay, so you're landing in Guarulhos. Let's be honest, it's not exactly Rio de Janeiro, is it? Most people see it as a stepping stone - a necessary evil before the real vacation. But hold your horses! Sables Hotel Guarulhos is here to make you actually want to stay put. Forget the frantic dash for the beach; this place is a luxurious escape that'll make you forget you're even near an airport. Trust me, I've been. More than once. And I'm still dreaming of that swimming pool…
First Impressions (and Why I Almost Screamed with Delight):
Let's face it, after a long flight, all you want is a swift check-in and a cold drink. Sables gets it. Contactless check-in/out? Check. Elevator? Double check (thank the heavens; lugging suitcases is my cardio for the month). And it all starts with a feeling of, dare I say it, calm. Despite being a busy hotel, the atmosphere is genuinely relaxing. They actually care about the little things.
Accessibility: The Real Deal (and Not the Lip Service):
Now, I'm not in a wheelchair myself, but I've had friends who are, and they're always wary of hotels. Sables gets it right. They offer properly Facilities for disabled guests, and it's not just a token ramp. The elevator works. You can actually move around easily. That's a huge win. I just wish more places would follow suit.
Rooms: Your Personal Fortress of Comfort (and Blackout Curtains That Actually WORK!)
The rooms are, in a word, stunning. I'm talking non-smoking rooms, which is a MUST for me. Air conditioning that actually works (a revelation!), a ridiculously comfy extra long bed, and – hallelujah! – blackout curtains. Seriously, these things banished the outside world, allowing for some serious sleep. My room had a desk for the (ugh) actual work I still needed to do, but I was more interested in the seating area and the on-demand movies. Let's not forget the complimentary tea and coffee maker. Essential. Seriously, you’re practically forced into relaxation.
The Bed: Okay, I have to gush. That bed… it was like sleeping on a cloud. I swear, I didn’t even want to get up in the morning. Linens so crisp, pillows perfectly plumped. It's the little things, right? The bathrobes were plush, the slippers soft. I felt like royalty. The private bathroom? Spotless. Towels? Fluffy heaven. The hair dryer worked! (a rare luxury, honestly).
Internet: Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Everywhere! (And It Actually Works This Time!)
Okay, this is a big one, because terrible internet ruins everything. But fear not, digital nomads and social media addicts! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And it actually worked! I could stream movies, video call, and even upload photos without wanting to throw my laptop out the window. Strong Internet access – LAN option also if you prefer a wired connection. And the Wi-Fi in public areas was equally reliable. Bliss.
Dining: From Breakfast Buffets to Culinary Adventures (and the Occasional Hangry Moment):
Right, let's talk food. First thing, that breakfast buffet. Breakfast [buffet] is the standard, and oh, is it good. But if you are a late-riser, or just not a breakfast person in general, they offer breakfast in room. There's an Asian breakfast if that's your jam, and Western breakfast. The coffee/tea in restaurant is a lifesaver. The restaurants themselves are varied, with International cuisine in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, and even a vegetarian restaurant. The coffee shop is perfect for a quick caffeine fix or a pastry.
Now, I have to take a moment and confess something: I may have gotten a little hangry one evening. I missed the happy hour (darn it!). But a quick call for room service [24-hour] sorted me out – a delicious burger and fries that were surprisingly good. And if you're feeling fancy, there's a la carte in restaurant.
Ways to Relax: From Pools to Spas (and Escaping Reality):
This is where Sables truly shines. Look, I'm a stressed-out human being. I need to unwind. And Sables provides the perfect escape. The swimming pool [outdoor] is absolutely gorgeous – feels like you're in a tropical paradise. Lounging by the pool with view with a cocktail? Pure bliss.
Then there's the spa. Oh, the spa! They offer massage, body scrub, body wrap, the works. The sauna, spa/sauna, and steamroom are the perfect way to detoxify your body after a long flight. There’s even a foot bath. Yes, a foot bath. I spent a solid two hours in there, and I regret nothing. I swear, all the stress and travel fatigue just melted away.
The Fitness center is well-equipped if you're feeling energetic (I wasn’t, but it's there!).
Cleanliness and Safety: Because No One Wants a Holiday Disaster:
Let’s be real – travel can get messy. But the team at Sables clearly takes hygiene seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and rooms sanitized between stays give you real peace of mind. There's also a doctor/nurse on call and a first aid kit. Plus, they removed the shared stationery to make sure you are safe. They even have sanitized kitchen and tableware items. They really thought about everything.

- Concierge? Super helpful. They can arrange anything.
- Airport transfer? Yes, and it's stress-free.

The Not-So-Perfect Bits (Because I'm Honest):
Okay, no place is perfect. The view from my room was… well, it wasn't the ocean. It was the city. But honestly, with all the other perks, I barely noticed. The internet hiccuped once, but they fixed it immediately. Minor stuff, honestly.

Red Fox: Jaipur's Most Luxurious Getaway (Lemon Tree Hotels)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's itinerary. This is my attempt to navigate the labyrinth that is a stay at the Sables Hotel in Guarulhos, Brazil. Honestly? I'm already sweating. Pray for me.
The (Un)Official Sables Shuffle: A Chronological Descent into Chaos
Day 1: Arrival and Immediate Regret (Maybe)
- 14:00 - Arrival at Guarulhos Airport (GRU): Okay, picture this: me, looking like a lost flamingo in a sea of Brazilians. Already, I can feel the humidity clinging to me like a desperate lover. Finding the hotel shuttle… well, let's just say the signage wasn't exactly crystal clear. Ended up wandering around Terminal 3 for a good 45 minutes convinced I was going to become a permanent resident of the airport. Eventually, a very kind taxi driver, who clearly felt pity for my disoriented state, pointed me in the right direction. Bless him.
- 15:00 - Sables Hotel Check-in: Finally! Relief! The reception staff were…okay. Not the warmest welcome, but hey, I'm probably a sweaty, bedraggled mess by now. The lobby is… well, it's a lobby. I will notice later how drab the decor is. My room better be a sanctuary.
- 16:00 - Room Reconnaissance and Existential Dread: Okay, the room. Deep breath. It's…adequate. The air conditioning is doing its best, but I can still feel that clinging humidity mocking me. The view from the window is… of another building. A particularly uninspiring building. Okay, let's not dwell on the view. I’ll try to get a better view later. The bed looks comfy. That's all that matters right now. Just hoping it doesn't smell of sadness.
- 17:00 - Poolside Experiment (or, "The Sunscreen Debacle"): There's a pool! Yes. This is what I need. Sun, water, and the faint hope that I won't embarrass myself. Applied sunscreen with the enthusiasm of a toddler covering themselves in peanut butter. Ended up with a weird white stripe down my back and a burning sensation in my eyes. Note to self: watch some YouTube videos on sunscreen application before venturing out. Also, the pool itself. It's…small. And the water temperature is lukewarm. And there are kids. Lots of kids. Maybe I'll just observe from a distance.
- 19:00 - Dinner at the Hotel Restaurant: The Quest for Edible Food: Right, it says "international cuisine". Yeah, okay. My stomach is grumbling louder than a disgruntled lion. The menu looks…generic. I order a safe bet, a pasta dish and it's actually not bad! It's far from authentic and very little flavour. I order a drink, a caipirinha to try and drown my sorrows of the disappointing experience. It tastes too sweet, is it a good sign? The service is slow. I miss my bed already. Is this all going to be like this?
- 21:00 - Bed Time and Reflection: Okay, I survived Day One. Barely. I think a proper sleep is needed. Tomorrow I'll explore Guarulhos, starting with the Botanical Garden.
Day 2: The Botanical Garden And The Coffee Shop (Which I'm Already Obsessed With)
- 08:00 - Breakfast at the Hotel: Hoping the buffet is slightly less depressing that last night's dinner. Crosses fingers. It's…a buffet. The usual suspects: eggs, bread, some slightly sad-looking fruit. Managed to find a decent cup of coffee, which significantly improved my mood. Small victories, people, small victories. The staff still look like they would rather be anywhere else.
- 09:00 - Taxi to Guarulhos Botanical Garden (Jardim Botânico): Okay, full disclosure? I'm a sucker for a good botanical garden. Hoping this one doesn't disappoint. The taxi ride is a blur of chaotic traffic and colorful buildings. The driver chatters away in rapid-fire Portuguese, and I smile and nod like I understand anything. (I don't.)
- 09:30 - Botanical Garden Bliss (Mostly): The garden! Yes! It's…beautiful. Giant trees, lush greenery, vibrant flowers bursting with color. The air is thick with the scent of…something. I’m not good with smells. Spent a blissful hour wandering around, feeling slightly less stressed. Almost got lost, though. My sense of direction is notoriously terrible. Found a little hidden path, and now I'm convinced I've discovered a secret portal to Narnia. Sadly, the portal turned out to be a dead end.
- 11:00 - Coffee and Croissant at That Coffee Shop (Seriously, I'm in Love): Okay, back to the coffee shop near the hotel. The coffee is the best (not necessarily in the world) and it's a perfect sanctuary. The pastry is heaven. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating. But after the slightly underwhelming hotel food, this is pure joy. Sat there for an hour, nursing my coffee, people-watching, and generally feeling content. This is what I came to Brazil for!
- 13:00 - Lunch in Guarulhos – An Adventure: Okay, time to be brave. Venture out of the hotel bubble and find some real food. Used Google Maps to find a fairly decent restaurant in the area. The language barrier is real. Ended up accidentally ordering a dish I couldn't identify. It was…interesting. Not bad, but definitely not something I'd crave again. Worth the experience, though. Learned some basic Portuguese phrases, which made the ordeal marginally less awkward.
- 15:00 - Back to The Hotel (Feeling Slightly Defeated): Heat is brutal. And the lack of shade is also brutal. Made it back to the safe space (the hotel).
- 16:00 - Room Retreat and Recovery: Nap. Definitely need a nap.
- 18:00 - Poolside (Again, Maybe): Consider the pool again. That decision is still pending.
- 19:00 - Dinner and More Existential Questions: Back to the hotel. Back to the food. Back to the questions. Trying to figure out what to do tomorrow.
- 21:00 - Bedtime and Planning: Another day of adventures. Still trying to figure out if I love or hate the Sables Hotel.
Day 3: The Longing For Home and The Airport
- 08:00 - Breakfast - Still Trying to Find that Joy: More of the same. I'm starting to develop a deep, personal relationship with the orange juice.
- 09:00 - Packing and Lamenting: Time is ticking. Should probably start packing. Feel a pang of sadness that my trip is ending. Also, relief. This trip has been exhausting, in the best ways.
- 12:00 - Check-Out (Finally!): Goodbye, Sables Hotel. It's been…an experience. Not entirely awful, but not exactly a tropical paradise either.
- 13:00 - Say Farewell, Airport Bound: Another taxi ride. This time, I feel more confident. I even attempted to say "obrigado" to the driver. He laughed. I think it was a genuine laugh, not a pity laugh. Progress!
- 14:00 - Airport Hysteria… Again: Pray it's easier this time.
- 18:00 - Home: Done.
Final Thoughts:
Would I recommend the Sables Hotel? Well…it depends. If you're looking for a centrally located place near the airport, it's adequate. If you're seeking luxury and a five-star experience, look elsewhere. If you're looking for adventure, embrace the chaos, and the experience! Don't expect perfection, because you won't find it. But maybe, just maybe, you'll find a little bit of yourself along the way. And that, my friends, is the real journey. Now, I need a very large, very strong coffee. And maybe a hug. Or three.

Sables Hotel Guarulhos: Your Luxurious Brazilian Getaway Awaits! (But Seriously, What's the Deal?)
Okay, Okay, Let's Cut to the Chase: Is Sables Hotel Actually *Nice*?
Alright, alright, I get it. You're probably wondering if this place is a total dump, right? 'Cause "luxurious" and "Guarulhos" in the same sentence can be a bit… suspect. Let me tell you, it *is* nice. Like, genuinely. Not five-star-hotel-in-Monaco nice, obviously – that's a whole other stratosphere. But for Guarulhos, and for a pre- or post-flight stay? Solid. Like, a good, sturdy, "I'm-glad-I-chose-this" kind of nice.
My biggest fear going in? Bedbugs. I may or may not have done a thorough inspection of the mattress first. Thankfully, clean as a whistle! The room was pretty spacious too, which was a lifesaver considering I'd been crammed on a 14-hour flight. Truth be told, I'd say the rooms are probably the best part. They're comfy, well-appointed... you know, the usual luxury hotel suspects. But with a Brazilian twist, which is always fun.
The only thing is, like all hotels, sometimes you get a room that's *just* a little bit… off. You know? Like, I had a view of the air conditioning units in my first room. Not exactly the *vista* I was hoping for. But a quick chat at reception and BOOM! Upgrade to a room with a decent view of something other than machinery. See? That's the thing. You gotta ask. Hotels are usually pretty accommodating.
How Close *Is* Close to the Airport, Really? Because I'm Dreading That Taxi Ride.
Alright, listen up, because this is a crucial question for any pre- or post-flight stay. The Sables? It's *ridiculously* close. I mean, seriously. I'm talking you-could-probably-throw-a-suitcase-and-hit-it close. (Don't do that, though. Please). It's like, a five-minute taxi ride, tops. Maybe even less if the traffic gods are smiling on you.
Here’s a little anecdote for you: I was SO worried about missing my connecting flight (because, you know, international travel and all the chaos that entails). I woke up a bit late, completely panicked, ready to tear my hair out… But it took me FIVE MINUTES to arrive. I had *literally* wasted more time dithering in front of the mirror. Amazing.
So yeah, the proximity to the airport is a major selling point. Saves you from the usual airport-hotel-taxi-nightmare. Just be sure to factor in some buffer time, of course. You know, just in case your taxi driver decides to take the scenic route… or gets lost. It happens.
What’s the Food Like? Because Airport Hotel Food… Yikes.
Okay, let’s talk vital things: The food. Because let's face it, after a long haul flight, you're either starving or totally repulsed by the thought of eating anything. (I tend to swing wildly between the two extremes.)
The Sables Hotel restaurant? It's… decent. Better than the average airport hotel, definitely. They offer a pretty good buffet for breakfast, including the obligatory Brazilian coffee which is, as a coffee-fiend, a *huge* win. I had a phenomenal omelet which, believe me, on a long flight, a well prepared omelet can restore the faith to the universe.
Dinner? Think… pretty standard hotel fare. Lots of international options and some local Brazilian dishes. I’d say give the Feijoada a go, if it’s on the menu. It's a heavy dish, but a rewarding one, perfect for eating your worries away. The presentation is good, the service is friendly, and they often have live music playing. It isn’t Michelin-star quality, mind you, but it does the job. You know: It Tastes Good.
Are There Any Amenities? Like, is There a Pool? Because Sweat-Sticking-to-my-Skin is Not a Good Look.
Oh, yes! Amenities! Because sometimes, you just wanna *relax*, right? Especially after all the flying and the airport stress. The Sables has a pool! And a gym. So, you can either flop down and be a soggy, happy mess by the pool (which I *highly* recommend) or work off the in-flight snacks. Your choice.
Let me tell you a story about the pool. I got there, exhausted, sweaty, and generally feeling like a crumpled up piece of paper. I dove in, and immediately, all the stresses melted away. It was pure blissful relaxation. The water was clean, the sun was smiling, and the drinks at the bar were cold and refreshing. It was... *perfect*.
They also have a spa, but I didn't try it. I’m more of a “float in the pool for an hour and then nap” kind of person, but I heard good things. So, yeah, they've got those essential hotel extras. It's not a resort, but it has the creature comforts. And honestly, that's all you need sometimes, you know?
Okay, Okay… But Is the Service Good? I Hate Bad Service!
Service? Well. This is where things get a little… nuanced. The staff are *generally* friendly and helpful. They try their best. They really do. Many speak English, which is a bonus for us gringos who massacre Portuguese.
Buuuut… Sometimes, things get a bit… lost in translation. You know: the order that doesn't arrive, the mix-up with the wake-up call (thankfully, I DIDN'T miss my flight). But, honestly, these are minor quibbles. Just be patient, be polite, and, if something goes wrong, approach with a smile! Most issues are solved quickly and efficiently. It's Brazil! Things move slowly sometimes. Embrace it!.
I had one instance where I ordered room service, and it took a while, and the waiter forgot my water (the horror!). BUT, he was super apologetic, and in the end, it was all fine. So, yeah, the service is good. Just go in prepared for a slightly lower pace, and you'll be golden.
Is It Worth the Price? I'm on a Budget, You Know…
Alright, the million-dollar question… Value for money. Because let’s be honest, no one wants to be ripped off. Is the Sables worth the price? I'd say... mostly yes. You're paying for convenience, comfort, and proximity to the airport.
It’s not the cheapest hotel in Guarulhos, sure, but it's not the most expensive either. Compare it to similar airport hotels in otherAround The World Hotels
