History

The Fasano family’s Italian restaurant tradition helped shape its hotel identity in Brazil. Architects including Isay Weinfeld, Marcio Kogan, and Bernardes Arquitetura gave individual properties a grounded contemporary language. Dining and intimate scale remain continuous threads as the collection reaches new destinations.
