Envisioned by Oskar Metsavaht, JANEIRO Hotel sits on Leblon Beach, bathed in natural light and ocean breezes. The award-winning property brings a sense of elegance into a curated expression of the Carioca lifestyle across its 51 rooms, featuring custom Freijó woodwork, natural straw accents, and recycled glass lighting framing the breathtaking Atlantic views.
Guests can experience a rich culinary landscape spanning three distinct venues, including the ground-floor Cedilha Bar and Restaurant, the Atlantic-inspired JANEIRO Restaurant for breakfast and lunch, and the intimate Amelia for evening tasting menus. Wellness and leisure are carefully integrated throughout the property, featuring a 4th-floor Mini Spa with specialized treatments, custom bicycle rentals, outdoor functional training, curated Brazilian cinema screenings, and ocean sailing excursions.
High above the city, the 18th-floor infinity pool becomes one with the horizon, while a modernist spiral staircase ascends to the 19th-floor VARANDA, offering panoramic vistas from Christ the Redeemer across the Leblon coastline. Rooted in the ASAP philosophy, As Sustainable As Possible, the hotel operates with strong environmental commitments such as solar energy capture, minimal water consumption, glass-bottled house water, and active support for local dune restoration through the Restinga Project, delivering a seaside retreat with a strong focus on hospitality, culture, and environmental responsibility.
Beyond its physical architecture, the experience extends directly onto the shoreline, where dedicated beach service provides custom chairs, umbrellas, and a tailored seaside menu from morning until sunset. Nightfall brings a quieter magic as the glowing lights of the Vidigal hillside reflect across the water, illuminating the Cagarras Archipelago under the moonlight, connecting guests to the living, breathing energy of Rio.
