WELCOME TO HOTEL JANEIRO
Set on Rio’s iconic Leblon Beach, Hotel JANEIRO is a refined, design-forward retreat curated by Oskar Metsavaht, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a rooftop pool, and interiors that echo the style of Rio’s most elegant homes.
Designed as an extension of Rio itself, Hotel JANEIRO is a place where locals would send their closest friends. Stylish but never showy, with thoughtful details throughout.
The restaurant serves fresh, seasonal dishes overlooking Leblon beach. The rooftop pool and bar offer uninterrupted views out to the Atlantic Ocean. Metsavaht’s vision of new luxury goes beyond aesthetics, with initiatives like the Restinga Project supporting the preservation of native coastal vegetation along Ipanema and Leblon.

What to do at Hotel Janeiro
Soak up Rio’s energy, with Hotel JANEIRO as your front-row seat to the city.
Start your days with a walk or cycle along the Leblon and Ipanema beachfront, right on your doorstep. Head to the Lagoa for stand-up paddleboarding or take a short drive to hike Pedra Bonita for panoramic views over the city.
Visit the nearby Jardim Botânico or explore Rio’s art and design scene in Jardins and Gávea. Back at the hotel, unwind in the rooftop pool, sip a cocktail at the Little Pool Bar, and watch the sun dip behind the mountains all with the ocean just metres away.
When to Travel
May to October
The best time to visit Rio de Janeiro is between May and October, when the weather is warm, humidity is lower, and rainfall is minimal. Temperatures hover around 22–28°C, with clear skies and cooler evenings. December to March brings hotter, more humid weather (up to 34°C) and occasional tropical showers, but also vibrant energy with Carnival festivities and a lively beach scene.
