A Businessclass Verified Hotel
Flooded with sunlight and cooled by the Atlantic breeze, the JANEIRO Hotel stands as a beacon of sustainability and sophistication on Leblon Beach. Visionary Brazilian entrepreneur Oskar Metsavaht—renowned for his Osklen fashion brand—has crafted a property that seamlessly fuses cosmopolitan flair with the tranquility of nature. Rising 18 stories above Rio’s most exclusive stretch of sand, the hotel maintains an intimate ambiance by featuring just five rooms per floor, ensuring privacy and panoramic ocean views from each of its 51 suites and apartments.
Every detail at JANEIRO reflects a commitment to responsible luxury. Guestroom furnishings utilize eco-friendly Brazilian Freijó wood, and amenities are curated to deliver a sense of sanctuary—think spa-inspired bathrooms that double as dressing spaces, with custom wood-slatted wardrobes discreetly separated from sleeping areas to enhance the meditative atmosphere. In-room perks include Nespresso coffee makers and state-of-the-art Harman Kardon sound systems, setting a high bar for comfort and convenience.
The signature restaurant, perched above the lively beach promenade, offers a culinary journey through Brazil’s coastal bounty. Seafood lovers will revel in dishes like charcoal-grilled octopus and shrimp, all prepared with contemporary flair. Outside, Leblon’s vibrant dining and nightlife scene awaits: from the acclaimed Giuseppe Grill, famous for its prime cuts, to beloved local bars like Bracarense, perfect for a post-surf caipirinha. Since its debut, JANEIRO has garnered international accolades for both its design and guest experience, solidifying its place among Brazil’s leading boutique hotels in 2025.
