The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Fasano Sao Paulo Jardins

"In addition, there are several popular restaurants and bars: The Italian fine dining restaurant is highly acclaimed, Baretto bar offers excellent live music, the lobby bar has art deco style, and the casual restaurant serves three meals a day"

"Those who can't afford to sleep over front by hanging at the low-slung bar or lounge/show venue Baretto, where you could well end up striking a bato-papo with MPB daddy Caetano Veloso; or telenovela star at the on-site Restaurante Fasano"

"São Paulo’s classiest (as opposed to most expensive) hotel, where the decor of the lounge, bar, dining area and guest rooms could hardly be more stylish – modern (without being self- consciously hip), but with traditional accents"

"Finish a night out with a whiskey in hand (the bar has one of the best collections of single malts in São Paulo) and the smooth sounds of bossa nova or jazz"

"The Fasano family boasts many years of experience in the hospitality industry, running a handful of luxury hotels in Brazil and Uruguay, as well as some of São Paulo's finest restaurants (including the Fasano restaurant and Baretto Bar and Restaurant that are located inside the hotel)"

"The Zen-like rooftop pool area and intimate jazz bar alone are worth the price of admission"

"Large windows provide panoramas of Sao Paulo, and all rooms come with Bang and Olufsen DVD and CD players, iPod docking stations, large flat-screen TVs, safes and minibars"

"Then end the night with caipirinhas and live music at Baretto, where all of the city action fades under the slow, smooth sounds of classic Brazilian bossa nova"
