Fasano Rio de Janeiro
Directly on the world-famous beachfront promenade of Ipanema, this architectural statement combines vibrant joie de vivre with uncompromising elegance. As the first building in Brazil entirely designed by star designer Philippe Starck, Fasano Rio de Janeiro opened in 2007 as the second property of the Fasano group after the flagship in São Paulo. Architecture and interior design are a stylish homage to Brazilian design of the 1950s and 1960s, and the glamorous era of Bossa Nova. A highlight is the spectacular rooftop terrace, whose infinity pool visually merges seamlessly with the Atlantic Ocean. From here, you enjoy a panorama that stretches from the beach over the iconic Morro Dois Irmãos mountain to the famous Corcovado.
