Restaurant
Gero Itaim
Chef Lomanto Oliveira serves handmade pasta and classic risottos in a dining room lined with exposed brick.
There’s a no-expense-spared feel to the Fasano, from its façade of bricks, imported from England, to the interior of dark woods, brown leathers, travertine marble and exquisite furnishings.
Bar do Lobby
Minotti armchairs and woven pendant lights surround the dark stone counter, where bartenders mix classic cocktails.
At the table
The 21st-floor rooftop pool bar serves fresh juices and cocktails looking out across the Jardim Europa neighborhood.
How it began
Vittorio Fasano arrived from Milan in 1902 to open a downtown brasserie, launching the family dynasty behind this Itaim outpost.
“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.”
