"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

"The only thing that keeps this Rio design hotel from getting three stars is its location just off the busy Avenida N.S. de Copacabana." Full review
"One of the first hotels in Rio to squeeze into the "designer boutique" bracket—just—the 66-room Portinari is located down a side street in Copacabana."

"Formerly Portinari Design Hotel Articles Under Rio's Spell." Full review
"Copacabana’s only boutique hotel has a series of designer suites in a business-like, tall, narrow tower."
"One of the few hotels in Rio that dares to be a bit different. Each floor has been conceived by a different Brazilian designer, with some much more successful than others."
"This stylish 13-story hotel demonstrates real design smarts."
