Rio de Janeiro
Emiliano Rio
Luxury and sophistication on Copacabana Beach
Emiliano Rio enjoys one of the city’s most coveted locations, right on Copacabana Beach. Contemporary and cool, it embodies the laidback vibes of this world-famous city and injects a modern freshness into the hotel scene. The retractable panels on its exterior catch your eye on the approach, and mark it out as one of the trendiest luxury hotels in Rio de Janeiro.
There are 90 suites and apartments, many of which have balconies and beautiful ocean views. Decor is simple and elegant, the light bright colour scheme perfect for enhancing the blue skies and golden sands that surround the hotel.
Its walls decked out in vertical gardens, Emile Restaurant specialises in carioca cuisine, using local, small scale producers to showcase the best of the city. Sip a cocktail at the Emile Bar then head up to the rooftop for light, healthy bites and a dip in the beautiful swimming pool that looks out over Copacabana.
There is an incredible spa located on the 11th floor offering a range of revitalising treatments as well as space to simply unwind and relax. As well as that sought-after proximity to Copacabana beach, it’s also within walking distance of Ipanema beach, giving you a prime choice of sand-side relaxation spots to soak up the Rio de Janeiro sun with a caipirinha in hand.

Places to combine Emiliano Rio with
Trancoso
Run by Wilbur Das, creative director of the Diesel fashion label, Uxua exudes a great character and attention to detail, all with a rustic theme that merges effortlessly with the local setting. Accommodation is set in a number of private ‘Casas’ each with a unique style and character and ranging from one to three bedrooms; one is even a tree house. As a stunning centre-piece to the accommodation is the pool, lined with 40,000 turquoise aventurine quartz stones (native to Bahia) that are a testament to the careful and painstaking care taken to create a hotel that is at once unique but with roots in the location it is based.
The hotel is located on the ‘Quadrado’ or village square of Trancoso and has a spa with an extensive range of treatments. The restaurant serves delicious cuisine made with fruits and spices grown in the hotel’s own gardens. Many of the ‘Casas’ have their own full kitchen and local chefs can be brought in to give you a lesson in local cuisine. The Casas themselves are large and equipped with all the amenities one would expect in a luxury accommodation, some include jacuzzis and private plunge pools.
