Anyone who has stayed at a Fasano group hotel knows that some things are the signature of the brand: the design that is always present in the environments, the service that impresses, with cordiality but without being invasive, and the gastronomy that shines from the hearty breakfast to the comforting dinner with its pastas and meats prepared with care.
At the Fasano Rio de Janeiro which is on the edge of the beach of Ipanema , is no different. This was the second hotel of the group (the first was the unit in the capital of São Paulo) opened its doors in 2007, but almost 20 years later it remains current, dynamic and a hotspot for national tourists and “gringos” on its disputed rooftop to contemplate the sunset sunset in one of the most wonderful cities in the world.
The 89 suites, divided into 5 categories, have a balcony, but it is important to pay attention when booking if you have chosen the category with a view of the beach. It will be worth the investment. Waking up in the comfortable Fasano standard bed, with its many pillows and snow-white duvets that practically “hug” the visitor, opening the curtains and seeing the turquoise blue of the Ipanema sea is like feeling inside a soap opera scene.
Other treats help to understand why this is one of the most luxurious hotels in Rio de Janeiro, starting with the service that, almost as if by magic, the employees know the names of visitors quickly and will do everything to meet any need. Whether calling for a last-minute manicurist to attend to your room, changing the recipe for a drink to adapt to your taste, offering creamy and delicious brigadeiros upon your arrival, placing a scented candle next to your bed, having slippers available in the bathroom for those who forgot this such an essential item in a beach town, among others.
In terms of structure, what impresses the most is the infinity pool on the rooftop, where guests from all over the world sprawl out on chairs with a nice drink in hand and contemplate the panoramic view that goes from Arpoador to Morro Dois Irmãos and Corcovado and watch the sunset from a cabin. No wonder, artists like Dakota Johnson, Chris Martin, Madonna, Beyoncé, among others have already chosen this pool to “call their own” while they were in the Wonderful city .
There, the bar offers fast food and some dishes such as the refreshing fresh tuna with burrata and toast (R$72), carpaccio with black olive pesto and pine nuts (R$91), fried squid (R$74), hamburger (R$82), among other delicacies to enjoy with a good caipirinha (R$52 – with premium vodka) or natural coconut water (R$14).
O breakfast, served at Fasano Caffè on the first floor, with tables on a veranda with a retractable roof, it has a rich buffet of bread, croissants, sausages such as raw ham and salami, assorted cheeses, smoked salmon, fruits, juices, cereals and can also be completed with à la carte items, such as tapioca, toast, omelettes, among others. Also open to non-guests (from BRL 110 per person), it’s one of those breakfasts that you can’t stop eating, where you want to try a little bit of everything.
