HotelChilli

I just went today (Fri 15 May'26) for the first time. I was reluctant to come thinking it was Friday and might not be worth it. Oh dear, how wrong was that thought! Despite being an ordinary Friday without any special event in the city or at the venue itself, and it's not month-end, I arrived towards 7 p.m. and it was reasonably busy already. Then more and more people started to come at 8 onwards. (P.S. I didn't get to stay much longer because I have a morning flight 😖) Imagine how busy it could be at weekend! Most clientele are either fit or blessed (or both!). I didn't spot any untouchable posers. Most guys were ready to have a good time, but of course you need to accept and respect that not everyone is for everyone. The place itself is clean, though I spotted some improvement work in progress in the toilets and shower room. Staff were professional and friendly. I didn't sense any drama queens with bad attitude behind the till. The price is accurate on the website. No drinks included, although you could ask for a tap water from the bar. Towel is charged separately (BRL20 on my visit), not sure if you could bring your own. Flips flops are available for free, no need to bring your own. It's not my first visit to Sao Paulo, so I'm not sure why I never came here on previous visits. If you're visiting SP and have been thinking about checking out this place, just come and have a good time!

I returned to Brazil to visit the sauna because some friends who live in Brazil and frequent Chilli Pepper recommended it and spoke very highly of it. When I arrived, I was very well received by the security team, and the security guard who searched me spoke English and was very helpful. I really enjoyed the experience and the attention from the security guard Eduardo, who gave me impressive attention and helped me a lot when I felt unwell inside. The only thing that bothered me was the hygiene on the second floor, but otherwise, Chilli Pepper deserves praise. I will return to Brazil more often and will definitely go back to the sauna. 😃

The steam bath was broken and the sauna not very warm and smelly. A pitty, because with a little more maintenance the place would be great.

Not your average gay hotel / sauna! Overall the place is fantastic including spa pools, lounges, steam and dry sauna but most of all is the super helpful and friendly staff both at reception and the food / drink bar area. I highly recommend this place with many reception staff also speaking English and Spanish. I’ll be back!

Great place. Huge. The have to do a bit better on cleaning especially showers. Not everywhere is soap. Also that big couch downstairs at the pool is falling apart.
