Arrival and first impressions
A journey to Hotel Janeiro in Leblon Beach begins on an invigorating note. The space brilliantly combines modern luxury with a unique, boutique flair.
The hotel, a standout with its chic and cool architecture, immediately sets the tone for a stay that promises something beyond the ordinary. The small lobby is a masterclass in contemporary design — a harmonious blend of contemporary "Carioca" chic and eclectic artistry, creating an ambiance that is both upscale and personal.
Guests here enjoy the unique luxury of feeling like they are staying in a well-appointed home rather than a conventional hotel.
Hotel Janeiro stands out not just for its location or amenities, but also for its unique identity as an auteur hotel. It was conceptualized by the renowned Brazilian fashion star Oskar Metsavaht.
Hotel Janeiro serves as a physical embodiment of Metsavaht’s aesthetic and environmental values. Every aspect, from the architecture to the interior design reflects his personal style and philosophy. He combines luxury with sustainability and infuses modern and minimalist designs with natural elements and materials. It mirrors the relaxed yet sophisticated vibe of Rio’s beach culture.
Room and accommodations
Each corner of the space is thoughtfully designed to combine comfort with creativity. Rooms showcase bespoke furnishings and local art that imbue the suite with character and charm.
The suite's panoramic windows offer an uninterrupted view of the sea. Wake up to the serene ocean showering with a spectacular view of the Leblon beach. The attention to detail in the suites is impeccable. The most enchanting feature is the swing positioned to overlook the beach. It offers a breathtaking and serene spot to relax and absorb the beauty of the surroundings. The rooms on higher floors offer exceptional vistas and privacy.
Dining experience
‘Cedilha,’ the hotel's signature restaurant, is a revelation. It embodies the boutique spirit of Hotel Janeiro. The menu boasts a sophisticated fusion of traditional recipes and modern gastronomy.
The interior design is intimate and stylish. The setting is a street walk veranda, a style that is very "Rio" in all senses.
The breakfast is a tropical buffet feast with rich treats like Croque Monsieur and Eggs Benedict to go along with Brazilian fruits and freshly baked banana breads.
Enjoy a unique trip through Japanese cuisine with a tasting menu at the OMAKASE experience. It is located on the 18th level. Here, a rotating star chef's innovative skills and the art of Japanese cooking are showcased through a gastronomic adventure.
Amenities and services
Hotel Janeiro’s boutique ethos shines through its amenities and services. The small rooftop pool is a serene oasis above the city’s hustle. It offers not just relaxation but also a stylish lounge area that echoes the hotel’s artistic sensibilities.

Exploring Leblon

The proximity to Antero de Quental Metrô station makes exploring Rio’s historic and cultural gems like Centro or Flamengo effortlessly accessible.
