Every morning I’d step out and head two doors down to Hello, Kristof, the effortlessly cool café that also hosts the hotel’s breakfast. It quickly became my little ritual — an Americano, a few pages from a magazine, the quiet buzz of São Bento waking up around me.

​

But what really sealed the deal was the interior design by Studio Astolfi. The space nails that elusive blend of warmth and restraint — terracotta, olive green and chalky whites in perfect harmony. After a long day, walking into my room felt less like checking into a hotel and more like returning to a home in another city. For anyone who travels often, that feeling is rare — and precious.

Because let’s be honest: a room that screams go out instead of slow down can be draining. Sometimes all you want is to stay in, breathe, and let the space hold you. The Verse understands that balance.
