To start, the hotel suffers from an interior design and architectural team that place guest comfort at the bottom of the check list. Guest rooms are not sound proofed. Activity in the hallway can be heard due materials used, types of doors and poor interior room design. During my recent two night stay, I heard guests in the middle of the night, walking, talking, steering their rollers. The rooms are very likely not the actual size promoted in all Fasano internet media. I doubt the room is 30 sqm (330 sft) based on experience and counting tiles on the floor.

I really wished I could have...
Read moreA smart hotel in one of the best parts of São Paolo, this is more modern than the nearby Jardims Fasano and boasts a pleasant rooftop pool but lacks the other hotel’s shopping mall and opening windows. ||The Fasano Itaim is beautifully fitted out in classic Brazilian Italian style; the rooms are stylish and comfortable and those on the upper floors command views over the city. ||The food is tasty - the fruit at breakfast easily the ripest I’ve ever had in South America, while the restaurant offers a Brazilian take on Italian food - and quite successful too. Suggestion - for a wider choice head to Trattoria Fasano. ||Recommended...
