Salvador
Historic luxury with Brazilian soul. Refined and understated rather than flashy. The Art Deco shell gives it real architectural weight, while Weinfeld's interiors keep things warm and contemporary. This is the kind of hotel that knows it doesn't need to try too hard.
Ask for an ocean-view room from the start — the street-facing rooms are fine, but the bay views are what you're here for
Why It Matters
The first Fasano property in a protected historic building — listed by IPAC as Cultural Heritage of Bahia. Caetano Veloso performed at the opening. The building itself is the story: a restored newspaper headquarters with original Carrara marble and Alpe Green granite in the lobby, now one of the most significant luxury addresses in northeast Brazil.
Fasano Salvador is a 70-room luxury hotel inside a restored 1930s Art Deco landmark that once housed Salvador's daily newspaper, A Tarde, for 45 years. It sits on Castro Alves Square in the UNESCO-listed historic center, looking out over the Bay of All Saints — and that view is genuinely hard to beat. The interior is the work of Isay Weinfeld, Fasano's go-to architect: Art Deco bones up front in the lobby, sleeker and more modern as you move into the rooms, restaurant, and spa. Blue runs through the whole place — handmade ceramics, carpets, fabrics — nodding to Bahia without being heavy-handed about it.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Deluxe
A step up in space from the Superior, at 40sqm. Same hardwood floors, Egyptian cotton linens, and marble bathroom, but more room to breathe. Interior-facing or partial view. Minibar, two-line phone, workstation, air conditioning.
King or twin · 40 sqm
Deluxe Oceanfront
Same 40sqm footprint as the Deluxe but oriented toward the Bay of All Saints. The view is the upgrade here. Hardwood floors, marble bathroom with high-pressure shower, 55-inch LCD, minibar. Worth paying for if bay views are a priority.
King or twin · 40 sqmDeluxe Oceanfront Suite
The top suite category. 75sqm, sweeping Bay of All Saints views, sumptuous living room, hardwood floors, and full marble bathroom. Combines the space of the Oceanfront Suite with the top-tier furnishing and finishing of the Deluxe designation. The full picture of what Fasano Salvador delivers at its best.
King · 75 sqmJunior Oceanfront Suite
48sqm apartment with an integrated living area and privileged Bay of All Saints view. The additional space makes the suite format feel genuinely different from the deluxe rooms — not just extra square footage bolted on. Hardwood floors, marble bathroom with bathtub and shower, Egyptian cotton bedding, full suite amenities.
King · 48 sqmOceanfront Suite
A 75sqm suite with full bay views, a proper living room, hardwood floors, and a marble bathroom with a soaking tub. At this size, the suite justifies the Fasano name fully — you get separation between sleeping and living spaces, premium finishes throughout, and a front-row seat to the Bay of All Saints.
King · 75 sqmSuperior
The entry-level room at Fasano Salvador, and still notably generous for the category. Hardwood floors, 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, goose-down pillows, and marble bathroom with high-pressure shower. Blue runs through the decor — handmade ceramics, fabrics, rugs — as a quiet nod to Bahian culture. 55-inch LCD TV, minibar, iPod docking, complimentary Wi-Fi.
