Words: Honor Scott
It’s less than three weeks away, Gentlemen. Whether or not you consider yourself the sporting type, the fast-approaching date of the 2016 Olympic Games is a summer highlight worth getting excited about. For those of us stuck here in Britain this means hours glued to the TV, shouting encouragement through the screen at any British competitor with all the expertise our knowledge and enthusiasm for that newly-discovered sport can offer, and it’s definitely a timely excuse for a few patriotic themed summer festivities. But for those with their flights to the iconic Brazilian city safely booked, it’s time to get planning the finer details. We’ll pretend we’re not jealous.
Where to stay
Hotel Fasano
Boasting décor reminiscent of the sophisticated charm and glamour of the bossa nova era; unrivalled poolside views of Ipanema beach; a guests-only terrace to enjoy your sundowner; and a bar that serves award-winning cocktails. All in a location as convenient as it is camera-ready. You know you’re in one of the best suites when you can see the Atlantic from the comfort of your bed: not a bad base camp for your Olympic experience.
