Frommer's "If design is not your thing, you can get much more room for the money staying somewhere else." Full review
Concierge "When the Hotel Fasano opened in 2007, it radically changed Rio's hotel scene, turning some of Brazil's costliest square footage on Ipanema's prized beachfront into a temple to high design."
Fodor's "The Italian-owned Fasano Group is renowned for its stylish, elegant hotels and restaurants, and Fasano Rio has the added glamour of having been crafted by the French designer Philippe Starck." Full review
Insight Guides "Rio’s most fashionable (and expensive) boutique hotel since opening in 2007."
Travel + Leisure "The 91 rooms are spare and breezy with white walls, leather-upholstered Mies daybeds, Amazonian wood side tables, and at least two burnished Sergio Rodriguez chairs." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Before this discreet, sophisticated five-star hotel opened in 2007, Ipanema and Leblon had no truly world-class luxury hotels."
Time Out "Still the hottest kid on the Ipanema block, the Fasano raised the bar for Rio's luxury hotels when it opened in 2007, forcing even the Copacabana Palace to sit up and take notice." Full review
Star Service "As the premier boutique design hotel in the city, the Fasano is the hot place to rub shoulders with the hip people in Rio." Full review

DK Eyewitness "This Argentinian... is a popular party venue. Unlike most hostels, Che Lagarto does not offer a shuttle service."
Rough Guide "The best of Rio’s Che Lagarto hostels is in a good location just a couple of blocks from the beach and a short walk to the bars and nightlife of both Ipanema and Leblon."

"Serves a free breakfast and has a pleasant outdoor terrace and communal kitchen. Many of the rooms are dorm-style... it typically draws a youthful, party-driven crowd." Full review
Lonely Planet "Convenient to the ferry dock and local nightlife, yet with a middle-of-the-jungle feel thanks to its forest-shrouded wooden sundeck, this chain hostel is geared to those looking for a youthful party vibe" Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Che Lagarto's Ipanema location is a popular spot for those young travelers who want to be close to the beach. It's a five-story hostel, with basic rooms " Full review
