Who we are

Long before customer experience was a business trend, Maksoud Plaza stood out for its perfect service and great care with the guest. From our founding in 1979 to the present day, our team offers memorable moments to all who enter our lobby. That is why we acknowledge the importance of our human capital. We strive for a barrier-free organizational culture based on mutual respect and incentive to creativity, where transparency is a strategic foundation.

Our executives are inspired by the most modern management practices of successful companies, always looking for simplicity and innovation. We invest in our talents because we believe everyone is an essential part of the company engine. Our team is, by all means, our brand. Only with everyone's motivation we will be able to deliver new experiences to all our customers with the high standard that is a characteristic of Maksoud.

Today, the #maklover team gathers around the revolutionary idea that we are not (just) a hotel, working in synergy to serve as best as possible.

VALUES AND PRINCIPLES

Ours is a big mission; this is why we are obstinate to triumph as a company as well as individuals. We believe that only through hard work, determination, commitment and passion will we win. Today's success does not guarantee tomorrow's;

Our clients have had unique moments with us, and we hope they continue to have fun experiences with family and friends, as well as great professional achievements;

We are passionate about humanized and confident service, which is Maksoud's trademark;

Our clients’ feedback is our compass. We are commited to serve and want our stakeholders to stay with us for life;

We do not trade our reputation, our ethics, and our values. The interests of the business are above individual interests. We do not accept or believe in shortcuts as a way to achieve goals, and we watch over the assets of the business;

Simplicity, efficiency, and best practices unite the team; we value respect, open communication, truth and candor;

Meritocracy is our guide. Opportunities are equal to all, and those who stand out are rewarded;

Personal and collective development make us competitive and, therefore, we investment in our talents. Each one of us is a fundamental part of Maksoud's gear;

We do not negotiate the safety of our clients and associates;

We respect our history and our legacy; thereupon, we are never satisfied with the status quo. Innovation is an integral part of this process and we constantly seek improvement opportunities. We do not see obstacles that cannot be overcome.

SUSTAINABILITY

The concern and responsibility for the future of the planet are part of Maksoud Plaza's history. Over four decades since its inauguration, the Hotel has implemented several actions for sustainability and environmental preservation, including...

To reduce power consumption, we have about 250 square meters of glass skylight, responsible for the daytime lighting of the lobby. The same skylight blocks ultraviolet rays, decreasing heat and air conditioning use.

The hotel has a 1,000 square meters of preserved Atlantic Forest.

All rooms have customer-oriented communication regarding the change of bedclothes, proposing a reflection on the rational use of natural resources.

We carry out the selective collection of paper, metals and cooking oil, which are sent for recycling.

Even before legislation on the subject had been passed, Maksoud Plaza had already in place a ban on the use of plastic straws.

PEOPLE THAT MAKES MAKSOUD´S WHEEL

"We all work and learn together on a daily basis. I like to say that I would never know how to make a room like a chambermaid. It is this spirit of humility, of acknowledging the efforts of others, that we have brought to light in recent years. The fruits are visible and should prove even more fruitful in the years to come."

DEPOIMENTOS DA EQUIPE

"At Maksoud, we are a team that works together to provide the best experience for our clients. This is a place where managers care about the well-being of employees, who can present their ideas and grow with the company. It's great to be part of a diverse team that respects itself and has a common goal."

Stephanie Sztancsik

"I had always heard of Maksoud as one of the best hotels in São Paulo, but it was only after I started working at the company that I was able to understand why it has been solid in the market for so many years. Here we are treated with equality and respect, from the most humble employee to our president, which translates into excellence in service to guests.”
