Emiliano Rio de Janeiro

This is one of the few boutique luxury properties on Copacabana beach. The prime oceanfront location gives guests immediate access to one of Rio’s most famous, and coveted, stretches of sand. The smaller hotel has a high ratio of staff to rooms so you can enjoy excellent, personalized service. The front facade’s eye-catching design also grants guests an element of privacy. Known in Brazil as ‘cobogós’, the structures can enclose verandas for moments of seclusion but still let you see outside through the small openings. Alternatively, push it wide open to feel out there and connected to the ocean. Breakfast is a highlight—we can’t get enough of the amazing little sweets served from Emiliano Rio’s patisserie! The infinity pool right at the top of the hotel boasts a unique view while feeling private and exclusive.
