We had a lovely stay at the Emiliano as a family. The service was wonderful. Henry and Leon were incredibly helpful during our stay. The view from the pool is spectacular and the location is hard to beat. The hotel was also very accommodating to the fact that we had a baby which was great.

Overpriced and Disappointing Pool Experience

I had high expectations for Emiliano, given its reputation and the steep price of $1000 per night. While the hotel does offer a luxurious atmosphere, one major issue significantly impacted my stay—the pool area.

The pool is extremely limited in space, with very few loungers available. It was nearly impossible to find a spot to relax, which is unacceptable for a hotel in this price range. When I’m paying such a premium, I expect to have access to proper amenities, including a comfortable and well-managed pool area. Instead, I found myself either waiting for a spot to open up or simply giving up on the idea of unwinding by the pool altogether.

For the price, I expected a much better experience. If you’re looking for a hotel where you can truly enjoy poolside relaxation, this is not the place. There are far better options in Rio that offer a more enjoyable and stress-free experience at a lower price.

Lovely hotel across the street from Copacabana Beach. The service is outstanding! Nightly pastries left in our room were a delightful touch. Spent four nights here. Every member of the staff was unfailingly polite and helpful. Special shout out to Alef and Daniel at the front desk who always greeted us by name and with a warm smile. Very welcoming. Would enthusiastically recommend when visiting the wonderful city of Rio.

One of the best hotels I have stayed recently despite its small size. The service is outstanding, very polite employees and always there to help with anything ! The hotel room and cleaning service is top quality ! The facilities are amazing and the rooms are gorgeous. I recommend taking the rooms with the ocean view. The hotel has an amazing rooftop with a luxurious restaurant and an infinity pool. Its a must to stay here if its in your budget !

Watch out for their unreasonable rules on bringing other people to the hotel. I was staying here with my husband but since he had go back to the US 2 days earlier I agreed to meet one of my girlfriends (that is actually staying at a hotel nearby) downstairs and go to the beach. She arrived a few minutes early and was prevented by an extremely rude front desk lady from going up to my room while I finished applying sunscreen. I explained that we weren’t going to the rooftop (that required a different elevator to go up by the way but what if we wanted to go up there? The fact that you can’t even pay for an additional person to use it with you is beyond me) and that it would only be for a few of minutes as I was almost ready and she yelled at the lobby and in front of other people that non-guests aren’t allowed to go up to the rooms or rooftop. Totally absurd. Imagine you’re vacationing and meet someone or happen to have a friend in town and you can’t even enjoy the place with your plus one without being yelled at. Although I highly doubt that they would have been this rude at some foreigner or really any man had they decided to bring a companion back to the hotel, here is your warning NOT to stay here. My advice? For better rooms, better location, better service and non-rude stuck-up front desk personnel, stay at Fasano!

Ps: I have been asking for a late checkout since I got here (and I was willing to pay for it) and kept hearing that I’d have to call front desk on the day of the checkout to check availability but of course my room isn’t available for late checkout last minute. Unbelievable.
