It’s a joie de vivre hinted at by your room’s Brazilian artwork, adding a sense of place to the faultlessly contemporary style best defined by the marble-accented bathrooms, chic furnishings and considered colour schemes. What’s more, many come with sea views over Copacabana – one of Rio’s most privileged sights. Upgrades add in oceanfront views, fully marble en suites and simply giant beds. However, it’s the on-call butlers that are the stars of the show with their faultless service even extending to the beach club, found just on the hotel’s doorstep.
The indulgence continues into Miramar’s Restaurant Sá where European dishes flaunt a typically Brazilian flair. It also enjoys an enviable setting, providing views of Copacabana's boardwalk. However, it’s at the other end of the hotel that you’ll find its centrepiece – the rooftop terrace. Here, an infinity edge pool commands sweeping views, best taken under the umbrellas of sun loungers. You’ll also find the fitness room here.
