Emiliano brings its guests to the heart of Rio with a prime location on Copacabana Beach. Combining modern elements with a bit of a 1950s touch, the result is a stylish blend of beach resort and city hotel. Guest accommodations, many with stunning views of the sea, boast contemporary décor, warm wood flooring, and touches of marble and gold. Emiliano Restaurant offers a contemporary cuisine, enlivened by locally sourced, organic ingredients, while the rooftop restaurant is a more informal setting for light sea food and healthy fare. In addition to the extensive spa and gym, guests will enjoy relaxing on the roof deck by the infinity pool, with a panorama spanning from Leme to Copacabana Fort.

Cosmopolitan São Paulo is Brazil’s largest and richest city, as well as a vibrant cultural center, with a film festival, a contemporary-art biennial, fashion week and carnival. One way to escape the bustle is to book a room at the sleek Emiliano. Located in the central Jardins district, on boutique-lined Oscar Freire Street, the property ushers guests into a calm haven, starting with a complimentary fifteen-minute massage at the fullservice spa.
