EMILIANO RIO DE JANEIRO Already famous in Sao Paulo, the arrival of Emiliano to Copacabana beach in Rio was very expected on the hotel scene bringing an edge to the existing offer. The property is elegant and contemporary and has an intimate feel combining modern design elements with influences and furniture from the fifties. Floors and wall are adorned with woven fabrics and touches of marble and gold blending with lots of natural wood and the restaurant’s vast, living tropical wall. Guests can choose from 90 rooms, 28 of which are suites boasting courtyard or stunning ocean views. The rooftop infinity pool is the best spot to enjoy sunsets and scenes over Copacabana and the ocean beyond. Facilities at Emiliano include l’Emile restaurant offering a contemporary cuisine by French chef Damien Montecer, enlivened by locally sourced organic ingredients while the rooftop restaurant is a more informal setting for light seafood and healthy fare. Emiliano also boasts a spa which is exclusive to hotel guests and also features a fitness centre and two saunas. A range of relaxing treatments are on offer and guests can also enjoy personal training sessions or yoga classes.
