Hotel Emiliano, Rio De Janeiro
Expert 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.”

Unforgettable
The hotel is beautiful. The location is unbeatable, and the view from the rooms is like a painting. Stunning! The facilities are great. You can get a very decent workout done at the gym with an amazing view plus, there are 2 saunas next to it. Massage is available at the spa. I love it. Very good service and the staff is one of a kind.
The menu at the pool/rooftop bar could be improved. Not the best options on the menu. Whatever you pick will be very good, but the options themselves are not great. I saw myself ordering things just to not be hungry. Again, the food was very good, but I couldn't find anything that I was excited to order.

Would recommend this hotel for the staff, the location, and the facilities and food!
The attention to detail is fabulous, with little cakes delivered daily. There was a large choice for breakfast, all delivered to order. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The facilities, including the pool areas, and the gym, were great. The rooms were a good size and the beds really comfortable. Couldn't recommend it highly enough

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.

overpriced but nice hotel
Good location. Spacious rooms and lovely pool area, breakfast was also great.
No view from hotel room, and it smelled a little musty / of drains. Expensive for what you get - I paid less at the Copacabana Palace and the experience was immensely better. This hotel was too expensively priced.

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.

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
