"The Italian-owned Fasano Group is renowned for its stylish, elegant hotels and restaurants, and Fasano Rio has the added glamour of having been crafted by the French designer Philippe Starck." Full review

"Before this discreet, sophisticated five-star hotel opened in 2007, Ipanema and Leblon had no truly world-class luxury hotels."
