The Fasano is located in the heart of Ipanema beach, Rio’ s charming neighborhood, made world famous in the Bossa Nova Era. This outstanding design hotel was envisioned by Philippe Stark and realized by Rogerio Masano. A six-foot-long sepia tree trunk constitutes the reception desk and towering off-white curtains divide the lobby area into three distinct spaces.

White marble from Greece, Chinese yellow Onyx, 19th century red brick from Argentina, ironwood from northern Brazil are used in this architectural wonder to create a very special atmosphere. For over a century the Fasano family has brought traditional Italian gastronomy to Brazil and the Fasano Al Mare restaurant was quickly recognized as one of the best seafood restaurants in the city. You can enjoy prestigious signature dishes on the outside terrace decorated with Stark’ s giant plant vases and glossy mirrors.

The trendy Barretto- Londra lounge on the main floor offers a tribute to London where the redbrick walls are adorned with framed vintage LP record covers from the best of British Artists. The beautiful infinity roof top pool accessible only to hotel guest, with a breathtaking panoramic view of Ipanema beach and Two-Brothers Mountain has been voted one of the top swimming pools in the world.
