The Merak Hotel, with 48 apartments, is one of a few pleasant, budget São Paulo hotels located outside the downtown area. Located in Moema, a busy district which features a mix of businesses, middle-class and upscale residential buildings, and nightlife attractions, the hotel is not too far from the Berrini business district and the all-around highly interesting Itaim. The hotel location makes it convenient for business or leisure travel. The address is three blocks down from the Avenida Ibirapuera, the main avenue in Moema, which preserves the hotel from the highest traffic volume.
