"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.

"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 marquis property of Brazil’s most upscale hotel brand is a showstopper, from the grandeur of its sleek wood-paneled façade to subtler touches like warm, attentive service and a highly regarded signature Italian restaurant. Located on the shopping thoroughfare of Rua Oscar Freire in the posh Jardins neighborhood—within easy reach of top boutiques and the Michelin two-starred restaurant D.O.M.—it balances the district’s excitement with opportunities for relaxation, including a spa set high on the second-to-top floor." - Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning Sarah Bruning is the special projects and surveys editor at Travel + Leisure, where she has been on staff since 2018.
