Setting

Green Jardins

Fasano São Paulo towers over the swanky Jardins district, parading its art-deco facade in a display of 1930s glamour. The first hotel by restaurateur Gero Fasano, it embodies his Milanese descent through best-in-class Italian cuisine and rooms styled with Venetian frames and Murano glass. Lap up vast city views from the sky-scraping pool or realign your chakras at the gleaming new spa. And when the sun dips, the hotel’s iconic jazz bar is your cue for caipirinhas and bossa nova.

Our favourite rooms

Opt for a higher floor to best take in the hotel’s breath-snatching city views. The suites are ideal for families or fashion hounds, with extra lounging space, including sprawling walk-through wardrobes.

Poolside

Perched on the 22nd floor, the sky-scraping pool has sweeping city views of the Jardins district from elongated Crittall windows. The space has been designed in an elegant art-deco style with iconic Hans Wegner chaise lounges and a soothingly symmetrical layout. There’s also a pair of traditional saunas and Ofuro hot tubs for when you want to turn up the heat.

Spa

A sanctuary amid São Paulo’s bustle, the cocooning Spa Fasano covers the gamut of your wellness needs. For workouts, an expansive gym is kitted out with Technogym equipment, free weights and a boxing bag, with city vistas in widescreen to take your mind off the cardio. Spa therapies, dished across five treatment rooms, are just as comprehensive, with traditional massages (sports, ayurvedic, deep tissue) on offer alongside more holistic rituals, from craniosacral and reflexology to rose quartz facelifts and chakra alignment. We’re sold on the spa’s signature therapy — an exfoliating salt scrub, followed by a massage with hot stones and orange- and lavender-scented aromatherapy.

Packing tips

Pack your Prada: the hotel is a favorite of the Brazilian fashion crowd, and the clientele dress to suit the mid-century Milanese vibe.

Sustainability efforts

Fasano São Paulo's design harmonizes with the urban landscape by incorporating locally sourced, natural materials and native vegetation to support biodiversity. The hotel reduces energy consumption with intelligent climate control, LED lighting, and motion-sensor technology. In the kitchen, a focus on fresh, seasonal, and locally-sourced products is combined with smart inventory management to minimize waste. Through micro-donations from guests, the Fasano Group supports the Arredondar Project in collaboration with Brazilian NGOs, providing educational support for children and nutritional assistance to local families.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Nab a pew on the leafy terrace at Nonna Ruggero, or a two-top in the centre of the dining room at Fasano, beneath the massive skylight.

Dress Code

As the sun goes down, sartorial standards go up: a bit of bling will add a welcome sense of occasion at either eatery.

Hotel restaurant

People travel from far and wide to visit Fasano, the main restaurant of the hotel, for its lauded Italian cuisine, although its soaring ceilings and a dramatic skylight also add to its allure. Brazilian ingredients are spun into elevated Italian-inspired dishes such as snow crab and asparagus with olive oil and Sicilian lemon or ravioli stuffed with cream of parmesan and walnut, figs and balsamic. Trattoria-style Nonno Ruggero is more casual, all-day spot, though still elegant with its white linen tablecloths and mid-century furnishings. A salad and antipasto buffet sits alongside more hearty, home cooking like gnocchi all'amatriciana and lasagne. 

Hotel bar

There are two bars. The clubby lobby bar has a chic checkerboard ceiling, cozy cream sofas, warm wood panelling and serves drinks and snacks throughout the day. The classic Baretto bar is renowned for its live jazz and bossa nova, which you can find here every night of the week: order a caipirinha, settle into a green leather banquette and watch some of the country’s greatest musicians, including Caetano Veloso and Bebel Gilberto, take the stage.

Last orders

Nonno Ruggero is open weekdays from 6:30am to 10:30pm, and 7.30am to 11pm on weekends. Dinner at Fasano is from 7pm until midnight (until 1am on Fridays and Saturdays); Sunday lunch runs from noon until 5pm. Baretto keeps pouring till 3am.

Brazil

Fasano São Paulo is set in the city’s fashionable Jardins district, close to the upscale shopping area of Rua Oscar Freire.

Planes

São Paulo’s main airport, Guarulhos, is an hour’s drive from Fasano with abundant international routes. For domestic connections, the city’s Congonhas Airport is just a 12-minute drive away. Hotel staff can organize airport transfers from BRL970 each way.

Trains

The hotel’s nearest Metro station, Oscar Freire, is an eight-minute walk away and runs along the city’s Yellow Line — between downtown Luz and the west Morumbi neighborhood. If you’re traveling around Brazil, long-distance trains typically depart from Luz and Barra Funda, both around a 30-minute drive from the hotel.

Automobiles

You’re unlikely to need your own set of wheels in this well-connected city, but if you’re intent on driving, the hotel has a carpark and valet parking is available for BRL70 a day.

Worth getting out of bed for

Fasano São Paulo gives you direct access to the neighboring shopping mall, Cidade Jardim, without ever leaving the hotel. Here, you’ll find the holy trinity of fashion houses (Prada, Gucci, Dior) as well as other upscale brands. While you’ve got the plastic out, head to Pinga Store, Frou Frou and Noda for a curated selection of local labels, vintage threats and handpicked homewards. And for one-of-a-kind finds, visit the Benedito Calixto flea market each Saturday, where over 300 stalls draw a creative crowd.  

 

Afterwards, take a stroll through Ibirapuera Park, stopping along the way at Oca, a futuristic, dome-shaped art gallery designed by Brazilian starchitect Oscar Niemeyer. The Museu da Imagem e do Som (MAS) is another sleek architectural attraction, containing a collection of modern and contemporary audio-visual works, as too is the The Museum of Art (MASP), which has a 10,000-strong collection of painting and sculpture from Brazil and beyond. Of the vicinity’s independent galleries, Auroras, Pivô and Pinacoteca are all equally enticing picks.

Local restaurants

Seafood enthusiasts should make a beeline for Barú Marisquería, just a short stroll from Fasano. Here, you’ll find dishes with a pan-Latin American influence, particularly from Colombia. Go for the scallop ceviche with chili sauce, shrimp tostadas or picadito playero (tuna on fried green plantains). For more traditional fare head to Tordesilhas, whose menu reflects the diversity of Brazilian cuisine, from the flavors of Minas Gerais to the spices of Bahia.

Local cafés

For specialty coffee, try Moka Clube in the neighboring Pinheiros area, where premium Brazilian beans — grown using the biodynamic method — are ground on the spot. Otherwise Botanikafé Jardins makes a fine brunch spot with a menu of eggs, granola, pancakes and poke bowls. 

Local bars

Boca de Ouro may be tiny, but it’s got a big legacy, having invented the lime sour macunaíma cocktail just over a decade ago. The cocktail is named after a novel by Brazilian writer Mário de Andrade which chronicles the adventures of a young man named Macunaíma and his extraordinary abilities. Drink enough of these, and you might just develop some yourself. Alternatively, pick up the pace at Caracol, with its line-up of raved-about DJs and noted mixology.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this art deco hotel in Brazil’s financial centre and unpacked their super-strength coffee and bottles of cachaça, a full account of their bougie city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Fasano São Paulo… 

In this mega South American metropolis, making an impression is no mean feat, but Fasano São Paulo is a real Sampa standout. This 23-story tower, with its soaring brick façade, effortlessly commands attention in the fashion-forward Jardins neighborhood.  

 

As the inaugural hotel of renowned restaurateur Gero Fasano, it was designed by native superstars Isay Weinfeld and Marcio Kogan, who pull together warm wood, imported English bricks, travertine marble, clubby leather and Eames chairs to create a space of both style and substance.  

 

The sky-scraping spa takes pampering to great new heights, with a menu of diverse treatments from Ayurvedic massages to rose quartz facials, and the heated art-deco style pool has unbeatable views from its perch on the 22nd floor.  

 

As for after-hours activities, find elevated Italian fare at the hotel’s century-old namesake restaurant, or catch live music from celebrated musicians in the Barreto jazz bar, where the slow, smooth sounds of bossa nova and the clinking of caipirinhas make the city's hustle fade away.
