Emiliano Rio

Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Emiliano Rio stands on Avenida Atlântica, near the southern end of Copacabana, a short walk from Arpoador and Ipanema. It is the sister of the Emiliano in São Paulo. The facade is a screen of white panels that open and close to give shade, and rooms inside are pale and quiet, with Brazilian furniture and sea or city views.

The rooftop pool and bar look across Copacabana Beach, and the restaurant focuses on Brazilian ingredients. There is a spa and a gym, and the hotel arranges beach service across the road. From here it is easy to walk to Ipanema and Arpoador, and to set out for Sugarloaf, Corcovado and the rest of the city.

Emiliano Rio suits couples and travelers who prefer a smaller, quieter hotel to a grand one. It has fewer facilities than the big beachfront hotels, and the rooftop is the only pool. Copacabana is a busy city beach, so the usual care with valuables applies.

Emiliano Rio is a small, modern hotel on the Copacabana beachfront, close to the Ipanema end of the beach. Its white facade of movable panels, rooftop pool and calm interiors set it apart. It suits couples who want a quieter, design-led base by the sea.
