You should still avoid the standard rooms, which are smaller and face the back of the building.

"If design is not your thing, you can get much more room for the money staying somewhere else." Full review
"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."
"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
"Rio’s most fashionable (and expensive) boutique hotel since opening in 2007."
"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
"Before this discreet, sophisticated five-star hotel opened in 2007, Ipanema and Leblon had no truly world-class luxury hotels."
"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
"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

Smoke-free floors and handicapped rooms are available for those who request them.
"Ultra stylish – with prices to match – this Philippe Starck-designed hotel is the place to stay for visiting rock stars, supermodels and the like."

"Designed by Philippe Starck, the luxury boutique hotel has leather-and-wood-dominated interiors, imaginative lighting and whimsical Starckian ear-shaped mirrors in guestrooms." Full review
