Hotel Fasano, Sao Paulo, Brazil

Sao paolo's newest and most charming hotel constitutes the fulfillment of an old dream of the fasano family, well known for its more than 100 years of proven talent in providing the city's finest cuisine. Hotel fasano is the prime fruit of the rogerio fasano and joao paolo diniz partnership. The design, created by isay weinfield and marcio kogan, is a daring re-reading of the '30s style - elegant architecture in which contemporary design converges with a wealth of classical details such as the epoch furniture and the english brick of the facade. Hotel fasano also hosts two of the brand's starriest icons: fasano, considered the best restaurant for italian cuisine in south america, and baretto, a cosy space where guests can enjoy cool music and international quality jazz. The hotel is located about midway between two strategic avenues, paulista and faria lima, and among its neighbours on the same block are shops such as armani, louis vuitton, tiffany, bulgari, kenzo, versace, cartier, dior, baccarat and others.
