Obeid Plaza Hotel
A marble lobby and a sauna on Bauru's main avenue
Bauru, Bauru
About this stay
The building is the reason to book this four-star hotel: classical 1980s architecture on Bauru's main avenue, opening into a spacious marble lobby that has no equal in the city. Rooms keep the period identity with beige carpeted floors and vintage wood furnishings, fitted with air conditioning, cable television, a minibar and en suite bathrooms, and free WiFi runs throughout. Behind the dated interiors the facilities are current and unusually complete for the interior paulista, with an outdoor pool, a gym and one of only two saunas in Bauru. Two restaurants operate under the same roof, one serving a typical Brazilian salad buffet and the other barbecued specialities, and room service runs through the day for guests who arrive after the kitchens close.
- Outdoor pool, gym and sauna
- Two on-site restaurants
- Main avenue location
- Free WiFi throughout
Our take
I would choose Obeid Plaza Hotel for its facilities and its address on Bauru's main avenue. The four-star building keeps its 1980s character, with a large marble lobby, and adds an outdoor pool, a gym, a sauna and two restaurants. Rooms are air-conditioned, with cable TV and a minibar, and WiFi is free throughout. The carpets and vintage wood furniture will not please everyone, and a score of 7.7 from more than 800 reviews suggests a good rather than outstanding stay.
- ✓Request a room away from the main avenue, because the hotel fronts Bauru's busiest street and traffic builds well before breakfast.
- ✓Try the barbecued specialities at the second restaurant rather than defaulting to the salad buffet, which is the weaker of the two kitchens.
- ✓Book a short stay rather than a working week, since the period rooms reward a night or two more than seven.
Why we love it
- The spacious marble lobby and 1980s architecture
- One of only two saunas in Bauru
- Two restaurants under a single roof
- An outdoor pool and gym in the centre
Why guests love itObeid Plaza Hotel gives a family in Bauru more facilities than most local hotels: an outdoor pool for the children, a gym and a sauna for the adults, and two restaurants on site, so dinner never needs a car. Rooms are air-conditioned, with cable TV, a minibar and an en suite bathroom. The 1980s building shows its age in the carpets and wood furniture, which some will find charming and others dated. I would book it for the pool and the main avenue address.
