Book the Janeiro Hotel with VIP Benefits

The Janeiro Hotel is in Leblon, Rio de Janeiro's relaxed neighborhood. It rarely blends luxury. This beachfront getaway captures Rio's lively energy while also offering a serene retreat only steps from the sandy shore. The hotel's tall glass windows provide a stunning view of the ocean.

Moreover, its warm, simple design and commitment to sustainability set it apart from other boutique hotels. This property is the perfect place to unwind and relax, whether you want to discover the city of Rio de Janeiro or enjoy the ocean.

Overview

The Janeiro Hotel offers a natural atmosphere with a gentle sea breeze. This hotel is Oskar Mestavaht's first project in the Rio hotel market. He is a Brazilian lifestyle entrepreneur known for his Osklen apparel label. It's a subtle fashion statement that represents a balance between city life and nature.

The hotel is 18 stories high, yet with five rooms per floor, it creates a sense of spaciousness. The 51 apartments all have a view of the sea and a calm atmosphere. Moreover, all the furnishings are made of sustainable Freijo. Every detail will also ensure your comfort during your stay. To create a more Zen-like feeling, guests can also use the bathrooms as dressing rooms.

Also included as standard are Harman Kardon speaker docks and Nespresso machines. On the ground floor, the main restaurant overlooks the sea. The focus is on regional seafood favorites, such as shrimp and octopus, char-grilled to perfection.

Leblon is Ipanema's more upmarket, less well-known neighbor. Restaurants and pubs also surround the hotel. You'll find the meat-heavy Giuseppe Grill and the classic beer stop, Bracarense, nearby. Moreover, Janeiro was opened in mid-2018 and has already won two international awards.

Location

The Janeiro Hotel sits on the beach in Leblon. The address is Av. Delfim Moreira, 696, Leblon, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, 22441-000, Brazil. The bars and restaurants here are smarter, and there are fewer people on the beach.

The hotel's coastal location is ideal, and the city is a great place to visit. However, if you want to explore the culture of Centro or the leafy Flamengo, it is only a two-block stroll to the Antero de Quental Metro Station.

Moreover, Shopping Leblon is the favorite shopping mall of fashionistas and is only a 10-minute walk from the hotel. Corcovado, Sugarloaf, and other attractions are also nearby.

Style & Character

The hotel has 18 stories but only five rooms per floor, so there is a sense of calm and spaciousness. Moreover, Osklen clothes are characterized by a casual elegance that is easily transferred to the furniture and décor.

Service & Facilities

The staff here is very friendly and helpful. They ensure that any issues are quickly resolved. There is a small plunge pool on the top floor, and it has no decks. However, you can relax in the bar or the indoor area, which offers more space.

The hotel's infinity rooftop pool is also a great place to tick things off your Brazilian bucket list. Moreover, you can admire Christ the Redeemer or Two Brothers Mountain from a side circular window. This also taps into the photographer's passion for capturing images. It's a small pool, but with the stunning panorama, you won't mind its size.

From 8 am until 10:30 pm, you can enjoy the terrace with its breathtaking views and swimming pool. There is also a beach service available.

Rooms

There are 51 guest rooms and suites. The higher you go, the more privacy and views you have. The rooms are a modern take on 1970s classic luxury.

The retro telephone perched on top of sturdy, dark wood desks along the walls is a great example. Order a club sandwich. Then, with a flick of the switch, the blackout shades lower. Slip on a soft robe and relax against the pillows with blue piping.

Moreover, to enhance the feeling of escapism, the bathrooms are also used as storage spaces, serving as wardrobes. The wood-slatted closets have been kept away from the bedroom to create a zen atmosphere. As standard, the rooms come with Harman Kardon and Nespresso speaker docks.

Dining

The main restaurant is located on the first floor, offering a view of the beach. This makes for an ideal breakfast area by day but a stylish, dimly lit dining room at night. The menu also highlights seafood and local dishes. You can enjoy char-grilled octopus or shrimp served with cherry tomatoes and buttery roasted potatoes. However, it may take some time to adapt to the classic Brazilian desserts.

The breakfast buffet has tropical fruits, fresh breads, and hearty options like Eggs Benedict and croque monsieur. Residents and locals also love the ground-floor bar. It offers al fresco cocktails and sashimi with an ocean view.

Sustainability

The hotel's Earth-kind efforts include a ban on single-use plastic in its restaurant and guest rooms. It also includes installing energy-efficient lighting, as well as recycling and composting waste. The hotel also supports local conservation projects and sources its supplies from Brazil.

Family-Friendly

The Janeiro Hotel is perfect for older couples. However, children will enjoy the proximity and comfort of the beach. Just don't plan on spending hours by the pool.

A ramp is also available for entry to the hotel, as well as a lift. Moreover, one room is adapted to accommodate wheelchairs, while the terrace and pool on the third floor are only accessible by stairs.

Events Space

The hotel also offers a variety of versatile spaces for those seeking a venue that will inspire them. Cedilha Bar & Restaurant provides a 65-square-meter space that is ideal for intimate gatherings.

Moreover, guests can use the larger Janeiro Restaurant, at 108 sqm, for larger occasions. Additionally, the Little Pool Bar is a 125-square-meter space that adds an air of elegance and relaxed style to any occasion.

Besides, Varanda Janeiro is perfect for informal gatherings and cocktail parties. It features 76 square meters of charm. Sala Mar also offers a 51-square-meter dedicated meeting space for business meetings. The natural beauty around you and the elegant décor will also enhance your meetings.

Takeaway

The Janeiro Hotel blends simple elegance with a genuine connection to its surroundings. Every detail matters. You'll love the stunning ocean views, innovative design, and our commitment to sustainability. This is the type of hotel that makes you feel comfortable and at home. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a relaxing beach vacation, a romantic getaway, a solo adventure, or a laid-back holiday in Rio.
