Very friendly and welcoming staff. Great view of the beach and ocean (we had a room with a terrace), fantastic shower pressure and the bed was super comfortable.
Beautiful room, comfy bed, huge bathroom and great location with amazing views. Gorgeous roof terrace and pool. Staff were really friendly and helpful. The havania’s were a lovely touch along with the tasty treats every evening,

Room was smelly, bar staff unfriendly and elevator dropped to -2 which is messy storage space. Overall staff were professional and the hotel has potential to be greate if some details are dealt with.

The room was spacious and clean. The location was perfect. But the stars of my trip were the staff. They were so accommodating and kind. They booked my tour for me. They arranged transportation to and from airport. They even went to the pharmacy for me when I was injured. They left little treats in the room daily: hair tie, fruit, champagne, bath salts for NYE tradition, desserts. I will only stay there when I visit Rio.
Love this hotel! Very clean, nice and high quality.
The staff just makes the experience even better!
Everyone is so welcoming and helpful.
To mention a few names of the people that helped me this stay on a daily basis: Rilary (at the front desk, she’s the best, give her a raise and a bonus); Ferreira, Lorenzo, Samuel, Amanda & Everton (at the rooftop, they served me on the daily, even had my preferences memorized, great service); Taisa, Elisa, & Mariana(at the spa, always so warm and helpful); and lastly Giselle (best masseuse in the house)!
10/10 recommend!

The hotel was very well located in case of beach , dining options and distance to major sightseeing areas!
The staff were courteous and polite and we had a good time overall.
Lovely spot, great staff, rooftop was brilliant. Housekeeping was the only disappointing part - had to ask for things to be replaced, had some hairs left in the bathroom when it was cleaned (I’m bald!) and never had any bottled water.

Disliked: Staff & service
Unfortunately, the quality of service has noticeably declined. The reception team appeared distant and unwelcoming, conveying a sense of dissatisfaction rather than hospitality. There seemed to be a significant number of staff members in training, which may help explain the lack of coordination and polish throughout the experience.
The infrastructure also feels dated. The elevators are old and unusually slow, and much of the furniture shows clear signs of wear. It is disappointing, as the hotel has lost much of the warmth and charm it once embodied.
Given the current standards, I would recommend considering alternatives such as Fasano or Copacabana Palace, both of which offer a far superior level of service, comfort, and overall experience.
Charming, modern, not too big, with great staff and services, hotel in Copacabana, right on the beach. Has beach service and amazing roof top pool and bar. The suits are spacious, its actually 1 bedroom, since bedroom can be separated from living room eith the dliding door. Very memorable place, want to be back
We loved our stay at the Emiliano. The hotel was beautiful with a fabulous rooftop pool. The attention to detail was evident throughout our stay and the spa was a luxurious escape. We definitely would stay again and upgrade to an ocean front room!
