The city of São José do Rio Preto, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, is less than 275 miles (440 kilometers) from the capital São Paulo. The city represents an important cultural center in the region with rich traditions in arts, theater, music, and sports. Hyatt Place São José do Rio Preto is located in a mixed use project that also houses one of Brazil’s iconic luxury shopping malls, Iguatemi Shopping Center, and is also conveniently located nearby the city center, office complexes, hospitals, and clinics.
