Hotel Fasano was first recognized as one of Brazil’s hot spots during the 2016 Summer Olympics, and it remains one of the most exclusive stays for Brazil’s tastemakers. Mingle with the city’s who’s who in the sexy Baretto-Londra restaurant, or take in views of Ipanema Beach from the Pool Bar deck with a glass of bubbly.

The crown jewel is the one-bedroom Deluxe Oceanfront Suite with a loft-style living room, marble bathroom and private balcony overlooking the sparkling ocean.
Top suite: Deluxe Oceanfront Suite from $2,030
