Hotel Fasano Belo Horizonte: Lourdes district architectural palace with Gero Italian fine dining, rooftop pool, and Fasano Spa
Rising with sophisticated architectural elegance in the fashionable, tree-lined Lourdes neighborhood of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil (just steps from Praça da Liberdade, the Cultural Circuit, and high-end boutiques, 40 minutes from Tancredo Neves International Airport), Hotel Fasano Belo Horizonte opened as Minas Gerais’s premier luxury urban grand palace. Masterfully designed by renowned Brazilian architectural studio Bernardes Arquitetura, the 77-room luxury palace features textured brickwork, bronze screens, and natural Brazilian timber interiors. Featuring the acclaimed Italian dining institution Gero (bringing the Fasano family’s culinary heritage to Minas Gerais), the stylish Baretto Lounge (with live jazz), a heated outdoor rooftop swimming pool framing panoramic city skyline views, and the serene Fasano Spa, this property is Belo Horizonte’s ultimate luxury grand palace.
Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Mineiro warmth and cosmopolitan Fasano glamour: liveried doormen greet guests beneath the brick portico on Rua São Paulo before entering the soaring lobby with Brazilian mid-century modern furniture, warm lighting, and chilled Brazilian sparkling wine with artisanal Minas artisanal cheeses. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke Belo Horizonte cultural, architectural, and gastronomic pursuits: walking to the historic museums of the Praça da Liberdade Cultural Circuit (5 minutes away), private guided excursions to the UNESCO-listed Pampulha Modern Ensemble designed by Oscar Niemeyer (20 minutes away), private day trips to the world-famous Inhotim contemporary art center and botanical garden (60 minutes away), swimming in the heated rooftop pool, indulging in botanical and mineral therapies at Fasano Spa, listening to live jazz at Baretto, and reserving dinner at Gero.
Palace living balances active Minas cultural discovery with serene rooftop wellness: Fasano Spa features private luxury treatment suites, Finnish saunas, steam rooms, the rooftop heated pool, and therapies utilizing organic Brazilian botanicals and Amazonian and Cerrado oils. Dining is an extraordinary Italian-Brazilian culinary summit: classic Italian gastronomy at Gero (featuring handmade pastas, ossobuco with saffron risotto, and Italian Grand Crus), live jazz and craft cocktails at Baretto, afternoon tea, and in-room royal dining.
Accommodations comprise 77 rooms and luxury executive suites styled by Bernardes Arquitetura in rich Brazilian hardwood, Italian linens, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing tree-lined Lourdes or city panoramas ranging from 35 to 115 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom amenities.
