In 2010, the opening of Hotel Fasano Punta del Este, in Uruguay, marked the international expansion of the Fasano brand. Overlooking the Maldonado river, the property occupies a preserved area of 490 hectares in the heart of La Barra. After undergoing an expansion project, the hotel reopened on December 2016, unveiling a new element: Locanda Fasano, designed by Carolina Proto. Located next to the iconic Fasano Restaurant, Locanda Fasano is comprised of 10 new apartments and suites, adding to the existing 20 bungalows on the ground, which also features new leisure areas such as a new lounge, pool, solarium and bar.
