Fasano Rio de Janeiro

Directly on the world-famous beach promenade of Ipanema, this architectural masterpiece combines vibrant zest for life with uncompromising elegance. As the first building in Brazil fully designed by Philippe Starck, Fasano Rio de Janeiro is considered one of the most captivating retreats in the metropolis. The architecture and entire interior serve as a stylish homage to the spirit of Brazilian design of the 1950s and 1960s and the glorious era of Bossa Nova. An absolute highlight is the spectacular rooftop terrace, whose infinity pool visually merges seamlessly with the Atlantic Ocean. From this elevated point, guests enjoy a panorama that stretches from the beach over the iconic Morro Dois Irmãos mountain to the famous Corcovado.
