The Hotel Fasano is located on Rio de Janeiro’s legendary Ipanema Beach, star designer Philippe Starck’s first hotel in Brazil pays homage to the golden age of bossa nova. Channeling the heyday of Jobim and Gilberto, the staff wears Ocimar Versolato–inspired uniforms.
Distinctly Brazilian materials like Îpe flooring and the enormous piquiá tree stump used for the reception desk are mixed with Grecian marble, 19th-century Argentinean brick and Chinese onyx. The Fasano brings its incomparable hospitality to Rio de Janeiro. The new hotel is uniquely situated at the heart of Ipanema Beach.
Imagined by Philippe Starck, the decor is elegant and understated with signed pieces of the 1950’s and 60’s. A meeting point for locals and travelers, the hotel features the lobby lounge, Londra, with live music and most prominently the Fasano Al Mare, Rogerio Fasano’s gastronomic restaurant, dedicated to traditional Italian seafood. The rooftop is an area accessible only for hotel guests with spectacular views over Ipanema Beach featuring a pool, a fitness center, sauna, massage and coffee shop for drinks and light meals.
