Midcentury Jardins flagship
Bartenders in white tuxedos mix cocktails across a dimly lit lounge where deep leather armchairs replace a conventional hotel lobby.
“Step in off those elegant streets and you’ll find yourself in a lobby that feels more like a private club than a hotel…”

This is the sort of place where discreet, understated design acts… as a backdrop against which they may shine.
“It’s not hard to imagine a lobby full of fashionistas at the Hotel Fasano, a sexy, midcentury retreat among the high-end designer shops.”
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Tucked on a quiet block in Cerqueira César, the hotel sits a short walk from the luxury boutiques along Rua Oscar Freire.
The rooms
Hardwood floors, Persian rugs, and soft leather armchairs frame leafy Jardins views, matched by white marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
On the top floors, the heated indoor pool sits beneath tall Crittall windows looking out across the city skyline.
The spa
Five treatment rooms offer therapies ranging from Ayurvedic massage and chakra alignment to rose quartz facials.
The gym
Technogym cardio equipment, free weights, and a boxing bag share space with expansive views of the city.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
Baretto
Live jazz and MPB musicians perform nightly beside a grand piano in this intimate, wood-paneled cocktail lounge.
There’s a no-expense-spared feel to the Fasano, from its façade of bricks, imported from England, to the interior of dark woods…
Restaurant
Restaurante Fasano
Classic Northern Italian dishes are served under soaring ceilings and a retractable skylight, accompanied by a live pianist.
At the table
Nonno Ruggero serves classic pastas and antipasti on a casual open-air terrace overlooking the Jardins streets.
How it began
Opened in 2003, this flagship marked the first hotel venture from a Milanese culinary family whose São Paulo restaurants date to 1902.
“a timeless, luxurious masterpiece that honours the Fasano family’s four-generation legacy as Brazil’s finest restaurateurs.”
