Hotel Fasano Sao Paulo
Where:Sao Paulo
Why:Pre-World Cup work event (and a Brazilian wedding).
When:May 2014
Who:Me (oh, and a DJ entourage).
Sao Paulo.
A room with a view.
Leather bed...check please.
Appropriately stocked with sandals for two.
Not so mini mini-bar.
Rainy day activities.
Stay a while.
Fuel up for the day over the breakfast buffet.
The chic and sweet indoor pool.
Fresh fruit.
The restaurant is not to be missed.
They passed my boyfriends chocolate "test."
Your key comes equipped with the most perfect hand-illustrated map.
Highs & Lows
Three words: Japanese ofuro baths.
The English brickwork façade — a stark contrast to the usual Sao Paulo concrete.
Big, luxurious apartment-like rooms and ensuite bathrooms (think marble tubs and heated towel racks).
Leather. Leather everywhere.
The quiet power of the lobby scene: espresso fueled meetings by day, and Caipirinha fueled conversations by night
Spa is chic, but small (don’t expect a steam or sauna).
No outdoor pool or roof deck is a bit of a bummer.
