São Paulo, Brazil

Fasano Itaim is an ode to classic elegance. The Italian family, devoted to hospitality for
three generations, built a brand grounded in excellence and warm service. The interiors,
designed by Studio mk27, are subdued and enveloping — with Brazilian freijó wood on the
walls, precise lighting, and soft natural light filtered through continuous linen curtains,
creating an ethereal atmosphere.
