Guest reviews Fasano Rio De Janeiro

by Randolph0918 North Carolina

The only place to stay in Rio de Janeiro

The Fasano was wonderful . This is a very hip and chic hotel that has staff that remembers your name. They all go out of their way to treat you like royalty. Thie is one of the best in Brazil and is in an upscale good neighborhood in Ipanema . Do yourself a favor and choose Fasano on your next trip to Rio !

Elegant - boutique style

5 days, we'll come again. Our entire time was perfect, nothing to complain about. Our room - 5/5, the food 6/5, the entire hotel 10/5. Yes, I'd like to rate it double. Why? They did their best and carnaval was pure party. They had events and actors contracted, brought us to parties as well as shows around. Rio is a dream! We will come again for Sao Paulo, and maybe stay for a night in Fasano, greetings.

Very chic and lovey hotel with fabulous service

Our stay at Hotel Fasano was perfect! The staff friendly and helpful and Les Clefs Dor of Brazil was fabulous. We appreciated the knowledge and time spent with our guide and driver, Suyen and would highly recommend her. We look forward to our return. suyen.tourguide@uol.com.br

Best on ipanema

Look, hotel may have its minuses but it is still the best on ipanema beach and there are no other alternatives if you look for the luxury experience. Copacabana has Belmond, ipanema has Fasano. We had some issues while staying there but they dont worth to mention as they were sorted out by the management in our favour. Travelling a lot i know that such things happen and it is the way to solve it what matters. Location is the best you can find. Pool/rooftop bar has really stunning view and pleasant to spend time there. Breakfast is good. Beach club/bar has a great music and ambiance on sunset. Hotel doesn’t appreciate visitors from outside and making an effort to monitor it which is totally on positive side for me. However note it if you plan to have visitors that its may be not good option for you. Very special style. Pretty unique. Rooms with sea view are definitely nice then back yard ones. Is up to you to see according to budget. Our backyard room was totally fine and a had a balcony.

Cool rooftop pool and bar in superb location

We had visited Rio a few times before but never stayed in the Fasano, although we knew how fantastic their hotels are from visiting Fasano Sao Paolo in the past. The hotel is situated on the beach at the eastern end of Ipanema with fantastic views, particularly of the sunset. The building is compact and stylishly designed in dark wood and cool furniture. We specifically requested a courtyard room at the back as we had read that rooms overlooking the beach can be noisy and, although a smaller room, this turned out to be a great choice as on the two weekend days of our visit the beachfront road was closed to traffic for massive pre-Carnival street parties. There were a number of highlights: -what I reckon is the best City hotel rooftop pool in the world, fantastic for sunbathing in the daytime and for partying (DJ and samba) in the evening -fantastic staff including in particular Marcus the concierge who helped with great restaurant recommendations (go to Satyricon for the freshest fish) and the team at the rooftop hotel and bar (Bruno, Jemma, Matthew, William...apologies if names misspelt or left out) -very comfortable bed and spacious shower (no bath) -a lovely touch: the delicious 'bem casado' mini spoke cakes left out for us to celebrate our wedding anniversary -the excellent breakfast spread with off menu a la carte choices (e.g. porridge and blueberries!) -excellent food and wine at Fasano Al Mare Certainly not cheap but worth every penny for a long weekend visit.
