The best design hotel in Copacabana — Emiliano, boutique (90 rooms), with a vertical garden restaurant lit by a skylight, a rooftop pool with direct ocean views, and an intimate atmosphere that the Palace's scale cannot match. Where the artistic and fashion-conscious crowd stays on Copacabana Beach. More approachable and less formal than the Palace; more beach-forward than the Fasano.
Why We Chose It
The best design hotel in Copacabana — boutique scale (90 rooms), vertical garden restaurant lit by a skylight, and contemporary Brazilian design. The most refined property on the Copacabana strip.
What Stands Out
- Vertical garden restaurant: the most striking restaurant interior on Copacabana Beach
- Rooftop pool: views over the beach and ocean, more intimate than the Palace
- 90 rooms: notably boutique scale for a luxury beachfront hotel
- Artistic, fashion-conscious clientele: the Copacabana alternative to the Palace
- From ~USD$280 — significantly more accessible than Palace prices
