Hotel
Rosewood São Paulo
A luxury hotel in the restored Matarazzo maternity hospital and a new vertical-garden tower near Avenida Paulista, with 160 rooms and suites and around 450 commissioned…
The Fasano family's flagship hotel in Jardins, designed by Isay Weinfeld and Márcio Kogan, with 60 rooms, a 21st-floor pool and the Fasano restaurant and Baretto bar.
Good to know
The Fasano name has been linked with hospitality and food in São Paulo for more than a century, and the Hotel Fasano in Jardins is the family's flagship. The hotel describes itself as the realisation of restaurateur Gero Fasano's long-held wish to create a hotel with personality and excellence. The architecture is by Isay Weinfeld and Márcio Kogan, and the building stands on Rua Vittorio Fasano in Jardins.
The hotel is small for its category, with 60 rooms in five categories, many of them looking out over the leafy streets of Jardins. That scale gives it the feel of a private club rather than a large international hotel. The pool is on the 21st floor, with views across the city, and the Spa Fasano offers body and facial treatments.
Food and drink are the heart of the Fasano experience. The Fasano São Paulo restaurant, serving Italian fine dining under chef Luca Gozzani, has been operating since 1982 and seats around 80, with a private room for up to 26. The private room is a good option for a celebration or business dinner. Baretto, the hotel's bar, has been named the world's number one bar by Wallpaper* magazine and hosts live performances, which makes it a destination in its own right for an evening drink. For something more casual, Nonno Ruggero is an informal trattoria on the first floor serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The Fasano suits travellers who value discreet service, design and excellent dining over extensive resort facilities. Couples and business travellers will find it a quiet, central base, and it is a good choice for anyone who plans to spend evenings in the Jardins restaurants and bars. With only 60 rooms it fills up quickly at busy times, so book early, and reserve tables at the restaurant and at Baretto when you confirm your stay.
The hotel is in the same district as Rua Oscar Freire and close to D.O.M., and Avenida Paulista is within reach. Reservations can be made by email at [email protected], by phone on +55 11 3896 4000 or by WhatsApp, and events are handled at [email protected].
