A Businessclass Verified Hotel
Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro commands an exceptional location directly on Avenida Vieira Souto, placing guests in the heart of Ipanema’s most exclusive stretch of sand. As the first Brazilian project by renowned designer Philippe Starck, the property is a sophisticated tribute to the golden age of Brazilian modernism and the evocative Bossa Nova movement. The interiors are a harmonious blend of iconic design pieces—such as Gaetano Pesce's UP5 Chair and Sergio Rodrigues’ celebrated Diz and Voltaire armchairs—paired with indigenous materials like rich Îpe wood floors and a dramatic piquiá tree trunk reception desk. These elements are seamlessly complemented by accents of Grecian marble, hand-selected 19th-century Argentine brick, and luminous Chinese onyx, creating a distinctive sense of place. Every guestroom features private balconies, state-of-the-art climate control, a curated minibar, and elegant ensuite bathrooms for a refined stay.
The hotel’s culinary program is helmed by Michelin-starred chef Luca Gozzani, who continues the Fasano family’s legendary gastronomic tradition at Fasano Al Mare. The restaurant showcases a contemporary Mediterranean menu with a special emphasis on the freshest seafood, all set amid a chic ambiance of dark teak furnishings and a statement Murano glass chandelier designed by Starck, illuminating a vintage Scandinavian table centerpiece. The showstopping rooftop infinity pool and adjacent bar provide sweeping vistas of Rio’s iconic Dois Irmãos peaks and the Christ the Redeemer statue, making it an unparalleled setting for sunset cocktails. For wellness seekers, Spa Fasano Renata de Abreu offers a comprehensive menu of personalized treatments for body, face, and hair, using exclusive products and advanced techniques tailored to each guest’s needs.
