Bank of Brazil Cultural Center Tours

Room was beautiful and has an insane view of the city. Beach was right next to the hotel; and the outdoor pool was literally the best I've seen anywhere. Breakfast buffet is to die for as well. I can strong recommend it to anyone visiting Rio.

The ocean view suite is simply amazing. The sweeping, unobstructed views of sunrises over Copacabana can be experienced everyday from the room’s large balcony. You can sense the energy of the runners and surfers calling you to join in. Emiliano Rio is located just beyond Posto 5 and is a good dividing marker for my runs to Leme and Leblon. The staff including those attending the front desk and concierge, the Emile restaurant, the spa and the lounge on the rooftop are accommodating in every way. Just ask, and they will find a way to make your request happen. I appreciated the attentiveness of the housekeeping staff who checked in throughout the day to ensure the suite remained organized and fresh. There’s a tasty treat brought in each afternoon. It’s just the right portion to energize you enough until dinner. I used the laundry service twice during my stay, and they did an outstanding job. They returned each laundered item perfectly wrapped and presented as if new. Be sure to check out the massage packages. I opted for the 90 minute session which started out with a foot massage and ended with a cup of tea, a perfect end for our bike ride up Corcovado. Emile’s chef is setting a new restaurant experience standard. by choosing a companion of select spices for each selection. Don’t miss the lobster pasta. I ordered it twice. Over the years, I have been a guest at other five star hotels in Copacabana and Ipanema. I recommend everyone choose Emiliano Rio, a true gem.

The room I chose had a wonderful wide view of copacabana beach where I could see the set up for the Shakira concert. Room service and staff were excellent and the rooftop was amazing to lie in the sun!!!
