"I tend to avoid shopping malls while traveling, but during a thunderous downpour in São Paulo, I decided to explore the mall attached to the Fasano Hotel, where I discovered Brazilian products like the fun floral jewelry designs at Isa Bahia and the ultra-hip sunglasses at Lapima."
"Fasano has become a benchmark of hospitality, inspiring many restaurateurs in town. The restaurant’s formula is simple: quality ingredients, classic Italian recipes, excellent customer service, and one of the best sommeliers in the city, Manoel Beato. Known for riding his scooter around town and hosting a radio show about beverages, Beato has achieved local celebrity status. At Fasano, he gently guides diners without dictating stuffy rules, making every glass an approachable joy." - Rafael Tonon
"Set in the fashionable Jardins district, and close to the wallet-busting shops of Rua Oscar Freire, the Fasano is a magnet for all that's young and fresh in this South American city. To wit: The lobby, you'll notice, is a popular meeting spot for local glitterati, though if that’s not quite your scene, the terrace at Nonno Ruggero restaurant, overlooking the neighborhood, is a better bet. Those exhausted by the hours of conversation will relish the spa on the top floor, which has a heated pool, two ofuro bathtubs, and Hans Wegner chaise—or they can retire to one of 60 spacious rooms or suites, and beds that have Egyptian cotton linens and goose-down pillows. Editor's Pick: Gold List 2018"
"A sleek, midcentury-inspired retreat exuding bossa nova style, with a fashion-conscious lobby, live bossa nova and jazz at the piano bar Baretto, and a celebrated Italian dining program: an elegant main restaurant known for modern takes on classic dishes and a homier Nonna Ruggero trattoria. The property’s roughly 60 rooms are bright with retro touches, and upstairs amenities include a top-notch spa, fitness center, yoga, and a heated pool—an ideal blend of stylish nightlife, refined dining, and restorative facilities." - Laura Dannen Redman
"The grand piano at the entrance and the impressively high main dining room crowned by a central skylight takes you straight back to the New York of the 1940s. A symbol of quality, glamour and fine dining, Fasano is a well-respected name across Brazil for its classic Italian cuisine with a modern touch. The stracotto d´angelo (delicious boned lamb baked in the oven and served with potatoes and artichokes) is a perfect choice here. An impeccable combination of a charming atmosphere and good food." - Michelin Inspector
