Fasano Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil · Fasano · High Luxury
When Fasano opened its second hotel in 2007 on Ipanema's Avenida Vieira Souto, it hired Philippe Starck for his first Brazilian project, pairing the Frenchman's playful interiors with architect Isay Weinfeld's eight-story, Bossa Nova-inspired shell. The rooftop infinity pool faces the Atlantic toward Arpoador, Morro Dois Irmãos, and Corcovado, and Starck lined it with ear-shaped mirrors reflecting the blues of sky, sea, and pool.

History
Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro opened in 2007 on Avenida Vieira Souto overlooking Ipanema beach, the second hotel from Brazil's Fasano group after its 2003 São Paulo flagship. The eight-storey building was designed by the São Paulo architect Isay Weinfeld, while the interiors were created by the French designer Philippe Starck in one of his signature Brazilian projects.
With its rooftop pool and bar gazing across the Atlantic toward Arpoador, the Fasano quickly became one of Rio's most fashionable addresses, pairing mid-century Brazilian modernism with Starck's playful glamour.
