Fasano Belo Horizonte

In Brazil, the Fasano brand is a symbol of cutting-edge glamour, and their hotel in mountainous Minas Gerais, in the heart of one of the country’s largest cities, lives up to the reputation. Hotel Fasano Belo Horizonte is a luxury hotel renowned for its high-end restaurant and bar and its sleek, spacious guest rooms, with their gleaming hardwood floors and crisp white Egyptian cotton linens.

The look, in warm natural tones of cream, wood, and copper, is something of a Fasano signature, and is emblematic of a specifically Brazilian vision of luxury. Even the humblest Superior rooms span nearly 300 square feet, and their marble bathrooms are furnished with high-pressure showers and Havaianas flip-flops; suites quickly grow to vast proportions.

Gero Belo Horizonte is the first outpost of the Fasano family’s high-end Gero restaurants to be found in a hotel setting, while Baretto, the plush cocktail bar featuring live music by local talent, brings in a steady stream of stylish Brazilians. Head up to the rooftop spa for a facial or a dip in the pool, or stroll out the front door to explore the fashionable neighborhood of Lourdes, with its countless wine bars and boutiques.
