The Pool at Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro

"The rooftop has a white marble infinity pool with a breathtaking view of the city’s skyline"

"Efficiency with élan seems to be the hotel's modus operandi, from the small lounge and rooftop pool (which, unlike the airy, mod ground-floor restaurant, is accessible only to guests) to the relatively tight but thoughtfully designed rooms, whose beds face a private balcony with views across the street to Ipanema Beach and which, courtesy of designer Philippe Starck, have been outfitted in masculine leathers and lustrous tropical hardwoods"

"A poolside bar and restaurant serves wonderful tropical juices, light meals, and cocktails"

"Exclusive infinity pool on rooftop and spa"

"The hotel restaurant here follows their lead, while the rooftop pool bar is widely regarded as the place in the city to enjoy a swim with a breathtaking view or an early evening cocktail, Ipanema beach sweeping up before you with the road practically hidden by some clever angles"
