Janeiro Hotel

Oceanfront style on Rio’s Leblon Beach

  • Hotel

A boutique beach hotel curated by Brazilian visual artist Oskar Metsavaht

Facing Rio’s Leblon Beach, Janeiro Hotel was conceived by Oskar Metsavaht, the Brazilian visual artist and founder of fashion label Osklen. His vision shapes the aesthetic throughout the property: calm interiors and a pared-back, minimalist design put the spotlight on Rio’s natural beauty. Each of the 51 rooms has picture windows that frame the Atlantic across to Ipanema and Arpoador, with Dois Irmãos Mountain and the famed Cristo Redentor statue rising in the distance. Natural light floods the spaces, and Metsavaht’s influence is evident in the natural textures and muted tones, which give space to the organic beauty of Rio’s urban coastline.

Dining includes Janeiro Restaurant and Cedilha, where world cuisines are interpreted with seasonal ingredients. At Varanda on the 19th floor, you can start the day with a private sunrise breakfast or end it with a three-course evening meal under moonlight. The rooftop infinity pool offers swims above the sand with views of Leblon and Ipanema beaches, while a one-room ‘mini-spa’ offers restorative individual treatments. For a different rhythm, you can board the 54-foot Sea of Janeiro sailboat and explore the Cagarras Islands or Niterói.

The hotel has adopted the dunes in front of Leblon Beach through the Restinga Project, a public-private partnership that aims to restore the original coastal sand forest ecosystem, helping to balance the climate, prevent erosion and preserve stunning views for guests.
