At this stunning designer hotel, prewar style meets contemporary chic in an exclusive São Paulo neighborhood.
EXPERIENCE
Fasano São Paulo's English brickwork façade is a powerful tribute to 1930s architecture - but the modern clock adorning its peak brings it smartly up to date. You notice the same esthetic balancing act in your 1,070 sq. ft. Deluxe Suite, whose Philippe Starck-designed interior features a living room, dining room, and guest bathroom. Like all of the hotel's 91 rooms and suites, it has a balcony too - all the better to gaze on São Paulo's swish Jardins district.
For sweeping city views, visit the spa and fitness center on the top three floors of Fasano São Paulo. Besides a heated pool, a steam sauna, and Japanese ofuro baths, you'll find five massage rooms staffed by expert therapists.
And don't dare miss the award-winning Italian cuisine at Restaurante Fasano, which has a private room and a wine cellar stocked with Barolos and Brunellos. Open late every night, intimate jazz venue Baretto has hosted a who's who of Brazilian entertainers from Bebel Gilberto to Ney Matogrosso.
