Hotel Emiliano, Rio De Janeiro
More photosExpert reviews
“A welcome new opening and pace on Rio’s Zona Sul. It’s more subtle and modern to contrast the go-go party scene of the Fasano, yet without the sometimes stiffness of the Copacabana Palace. It feels young and sophisticated.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s 2018 Hot List
“The arrival of São Paulo’s Emiliano brand to the Copacabana district of Rio justifiably caused quite the buzz among locals, bringing an edge to rival the sharp boutiques of neighbouring Ipanema. Built for purpose, Emiliano not only has universal appeal, but updates Copacabana’s magic of yore with flair.”

Truly beautiful hotel. Very friendly staff. Awesome rooms.
Some things are unnecessarily overpriced, like their breakfast, mini bar items, or even the excursions they suggest

This is our favorite place to stay it is one of the best locations on Copacabana if not the best. The staff is multilingual and super friendly they go the extra mile to show how much they appreciate you and their jobs. I have stayed many nice places this is my place for Copacabana and one of the only locations with big outdoor beach side balconies which if your going to stay on the beach to me this is a must!

Once in a lifetime trip that would not have been nearly as memorable had we stayed elsewhere.
The service was the best we have ever experienced. Every member of staff was so kind and friendly. The concierge went above and beyond to recommend, organize, book, and even pick-up things for us from outside of the hotel. We were there for my birthday and all of the staff made it so special, the housekeeping even did a little surprise setup in the room with bath salts & oils, flower petals, candles, and a cake. We also received delectable bite-sized treats in our room every evening with the turn down service. Not to mention the views/vibes at the rooftop pool/restaurant/bar which are unbeatable.

fantastic staff but rooms need some TLC
The staff here are so welcoming, friendly and helpful!
The rooms are tired. Ours had a chipped basin, walls grubby and the room was just very worn (not like the photos). the are much nicer areas in the city other than Copacabana.

Best Hotel in Copacabana/Ipanema
Best hotel in Copacabana/Ipanema hands down. Very attentive staff, amazing pool with a good vibe, amazing restaurant Emile and great amenities in the room. The Hawaianas flipflops as a welcome gift were a really cool touch.

the staff were all fantastic, very friendly and went out of their way to assist and help us.
the hotel had everything we needed, from a fantastic gym overlooking Rio with the sugar loaf in view, lovely restaurant with beautiful living wall surrounding, to spacious bedrooms and the rooftop pool.

Definitely one of the best hotels in Rio, if not the best
The architecture, the rooms, the pool, the beach, the restaurant, the location, and definitely the staff who are very helpful, aware of everything, and attentive to the smallest details … everything is just perfect
My only concern is that the hotel is too expensive for everything to be charged for an extra fee … and the extra charges are not cheap … the water in the room is for a charge if you order it, the coffee capsules are for R$9 each, the breakfast is not included and it’s very pricy with an average of R$130++ per person

Location and infrastructure were awesome. Views are exceptional. Breakfast very good.
Service. Most of the time, it took a long time to get whatever I asked for, especially in the pool. Not unusual to have service forget about what you ordered.

Great Stay.
Location, breakfast, beach services ( very attentive butlers) and our great and now friend bell boy Esteve.
The afternoon treats are fabulous.
Having to pay for the use of the coffe machine in the room (pods). Never encountered a hotel of this level that charges for it.

Novotel Leme, Rio de Janeiro
CNN“It’s a high-volume beach hotel two short blocks from Leme, the least-known beach of the Zona Sul. But the view from its rooftop pool rivals anything the five-stars have, and its complimentary breakfasts are well-stocked. Rooms are distinctly modest.”
