"A super-sleek hotel smack in the heart of Ipanema, Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro boasts chic guestrooms, a quiet private beach and an uber-sexy infinity rooftop pool and bar."

It’s been said time and time again but, really, location is paramount. The super-slick Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro is smack in the thick of it all, in Ipanema, and it is the only place you want to be seen here in town these days.

Right on the eastern end of Ipanema Beach and the adjoining Leblon Beach (the latter is less crowded and quiet and overlooked by the stunning Dois Irmãos Hill), it’s a lovely spot for a walk or a swim. The hotel also has a private beach, especially nice for honeymooners or those who like a quiet day in the sun with a book and some very good service.

While the other two main luxury properties in the Zona Sul (south zone) – the Belmond Copacabana Palace and the Sofitel – are not terribly far from here in the Copacabana district, that location is not nearly as desirable as it was back in 1978 when Barry Manilow popularised it in song. Here on the Avenida Vieira Souto, however, the surroundings are a whole lot friendlier. Walk a few blocks from the hotel, and you...   Show more

Here on the Avenida Vieira Souto, however, the surroundings are a whole lot friendlier. Walk a few blocks from the hotel, and you’ll find a tree-lined street of fashionable cafes, lovely restaurants and hip and happening bars to while away a few hours.

Opened in 2007, Fasano Hotel Rio de Janeiro was the talk of the town in all the right circles. Celebrities, Brazil’s rich and famous and the very well-heeled came to stay in this exclusive Philippe Starck-designed hotel (the first in Brazil) of under 100 rooms (go for one with an ocean view) with its bossa nova-vibed lobby, ear-shaped Daliesque mirrors by Starck himself and the uber-sexy infinity rooftop pool and bar.

Dine here in the Fasano Al Mare on the ground floor, and enjoy the sublime food as you gave out over the sidewalks of Ipanema. The room is chic-casual, with Scandinavian furnishings and a huge Murano chandelier. Ranked by Wallpaper magazine as the number one hotel bar in the world, a post or pre-prandial drink at Baretto-Londra is a must.

In the lobby, decidedly Brazilian materials such as Ipe flooring and the enormous piquiá tree stump used as a reception desk are mixed with Grecian marble and Chinese onyx. And the Union Jack flags draped against the 19th-century Argentinian brick walls and leather chairs featuring an embroidered iconic image of the Queen of the United Kingdom add a touch of fun.

The design ethos – swinging Rio of the cocktail-sipping, bossa nova-swaying 1950s and 1960s – is light-hearted and glam; you’ll immediately feel you’re on holiday.
