Experts' Choice Award Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro
What the experts agree on
Philippe Starck's Ipanema icon draws Rio's glamorous crowd to a rooftop pool with Sugarloaf views—the beautiful-people scene and beachfront setting outshine even the Copacabana Palace, experts say.
“Bringing a much-needed touch of contemporary cool to Ipanema's surprisingly stale hotel scene, the Fasano has usurped the Copacabana Palace as the A-listers’ Rio stay of choice.”
