Janeiro

Vying with the Fasano for the best beachfront location in Rio, this relaxed but uber-chic tower is the first hotel venture by Oskar Metsavaht – Brazil’s Crown Prince of laid back but luxe fashion, and founder of the quintessentially Carioca ‘Osklen’ label.

Rooms and a swanky rooftop pool overlook the most fashionable end of Ipanema – Leblon. Guests lounging around the rooftop pool look like off-duty supermodels and Rio’s best restaurants are literally a stroll away.
