Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro
Restaurateur Rogério Fasano established himself as a tastemaker par excellence with his flagship Fasano hotel in São Paulo. And now, the opening of the second Fasano, in Rio’s perennially chic Ipanema, sees his talent for infusing environments with social cachet reach critical mass. Philippe Starck’s light touch provides a welcome dose of whimsy to the leather-and-wood-dominated interiors of this 92-room Rio property. Sergio Rodrigues chairs—relaxed icons of modern Brazilian design—can be found throughout; a giant pekia tree serves as a reception desk in the lobby; and an abundance of glass walls reveal the ocean beyond. The result: A hotel that reflects Rio’s legendary warmth and seduction. All 10 suites have balconies overlooking Ipanema’s Station 8 beach. Amenities Standard luxe—plush bathrobes, Egyptian linens, Wi-Fi, and flat-screens—with a local twist: two pairs of Havaianas flip-flops keep guests beach-ready. (A smaller size was delivered at lightning speed upon request.) After taking in a meal at the hotel restaurant Fasano Al Mare or a drink at Baretto Londra lounge, head to the rooftop pool for stargazing.
