Hotel Unique

Designed by architect Ruy Othake, Unique is one of São Paulo’s most emblematic buildings, with boat-shaped architecture. The hotel opened its doors in 2002. It was conceived by pharmaceutical entrepreneur Victor Siaulys (who died in 2009), founder of Laboratórios Aché, and it is currently managed by his family. Its halls often host large financial market events.
