Hotel Fasano, São Paulo

“To experience old-fashioned hospitality, book yourself a deluxe room at the Fasano, one of São Paulo’s premier boutique hotels. The 20-story brick building is located just off Rua Oscar Freire, in the heart of Jardins. The guest rooms ooze an old world atmosphere that evokes the work of Hemingway, with soft brown leather chairs, Persian rugs, hardwood floors, and white marble bathrooms.”

“With São Paulo’s limited subway system and clogged highways, nothing is more important than location. Avoid straying too far from Paulista Avenue, where you’ll find plenty of choices. Those seeking an upscale experience will be happy in the leather-upholstered luxury of the Fasano São Paulo.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in São Paulo.

“With a decor that hints at 1940s modern but is undeniably 21st-century chic, the Hotel Fasano caters to those for whom money is a mere detail. Rooms have Eames chairs, leather headboards, parquet floors, huge windows, and walk-in closets.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in São Paulo.

“This ultrarefined 60-room hotel behind an English red-brick facade evokes a bygone era of modernist glamour, with muted gray travertine marble set off with exquisite 1930s-era antiques in rooms and common areas; and a reserve, formality and discreetness rare in Brazil (only four rooms per floor).”

“Expect dapper gents and coiffured ladies lounging in antique leather armchairs and sipping cocktails in the lobby of Hotel Fasano São Paulo. And that’s exactly what the exclusive luxury hotel’s designers were gunning for when they tucked the reception desk discreetly away out of sight making the Lobby Bar the focal point when you walk in the front door.”

“With its Milan-meets-Manhattan sense of style and its prime position at the heart of São Paulo’s exclusive Jardins neighbourhood, Rogerio Fasano’s flagship tower-block hotel has been the city’s luxury place-to-stay since it opened.”
