PB hotel design editorial

That facade — a continuous skin of white perforated aluminum panels punched with rounded oval apertures across eight floors of Copacabana beachfront — is the gesture that makes Emiliano Rio immediately legible from the street, a building that filters Atlantic light rather than simply admitting it. Isay Weinfeld designed the 101-room property, which opened in 2019, and the screen functions as both solar control and architectural identity, each panel folding back like a shutter to frame the ocean view from within while giving the building a rhythm entirely distinct from its mid-century neighbors along Avenida Atlântica. Inside, the palette is calibrated to the same restraint as Weinfeld's São Paulo work — natural linen upholstery, pale sisal carpeting, brass-legged lounge chairs in sage green fabric, and marble-topped coffee tables in warm honey tones. Rooms carry herringbone timber floors and linen-panel headboards, the sliding wall partitions between sleeping and living zones emphasizing an apartment-like generosity of proportion. The restaurant is anchored by continuous warmly toned hardwood wall paneling beneath a curved plaster ceiling soffit — a quietly Niemeyer-inflected gesture — with a granite-faced bar counter running its full length. On the roof, a timber-decked infinity pool aligned directly with the sea completes the sequence, the view stretching past the old Copacabana fort toward open water.

Emiliano Rio Reviews

"Coming to Rio to work is almost a crime, but staying at the Emiliano makes up for it. This is one of my favorite hotels in the world. The views (if you can get them) of the beautiful Copacabana beach are beautiful. Even when you look to the inside of the room, they make up by a beautiful ambiance: sweet scents, relaxing lighting, and a magical bathtub. A quiet room to get your work done, and a fantastic rooftop pool to wind down. PS - the best thing was always getting the sweetest welcome after a day at work!"

"Location wise, you can't fault this place, but I still felt a bit shortchanged - the lobby wasn't great - and neither was my room! I don't think I got the full hotel experience that business travel gets you. This is a small hotel, just bear that in mind."

"The hotel position is right between Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, the hotel has an outstanding top floor lounging area with a plunge pool and the best view of any hotel I have so far stayed in. The staff are awesome! They are so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble - also I have never seen so many staff. I would only mention Augusto. So helpful and happy to see us The beach facing room was large with all the facilities that anyone could require with a good wide bed but the bedroom carpet was a little tired and in need of either a thorough clean or replacement. The wet room shower and bath area had the water drainage area unfinished and unnecessarily, really ugly but everything worked efficiently The Toto Japanese toilet was great!!!! Food in the restaurant was nicely presented but pretentious and tended to be expensive However, all in all, a lovely stay"
