"The Fasano hotels and restaurants are a big deal in Brazil; no less significant a figure than singer-songwriter Caetano Veloso performed at the opening of this one, the eighth Fasano-branded luxury hotel in Brazil. Fasano Salvador occupies a building of some gravity as well, a 1930s Art Deco landmark that was once the headquarters of the city’s daily newspaper, and which stands on Castro Alves Square, in the UNESCO-listed historic city center, with an elevated view back towards the Bay of All Saints." - Tablet Hotels
