The Fasano, a cool hotel in Rio de Janeiro (Ipanema)
Harper's Bazaar says, "Rio has it all....and finally a hotel worthy of it." W Magazine writes "...Hotel Fasano has revived Brazil's glorious heyday." Opened in August 2007, The Fasano is Rio's first real boutique hotel. Designed by Philippe Starck ("but not at full volume," adds India Hicks in Vogue), it has views of Ipanema beach and the Dos Irmaoas mountains from all of its 92 rooms and an "orgasmic" [DailyCandy] rooftop pool. Super swanky lobby. Wallpaper raved about the rooftop pool/bar and in September 2008 awarded The Fasano, "Best Business Hotel 2008." In May 2010, The FT says the Fasano's Baretto-Londra Bar is "hipper than hip."
[FT] If you don't stay at the hotel, Harper's Bazaar recommends dinner at its Michelin-starred Al Mare restaurant, offering spectacular views from its rooftop terrace.
