The views at @studio.arthurcasas and @oppenheimarchitecture's @hotelemiliano, as always, are at their most spectacular at the top. Here you will find the spa—clad in unpolished black granite, a refuge from the equatorial heat outside—and, one flight up, a rooftop bar and L-shaped pool. Designed to comply with codes that prohibit casting a shadow on the beach, the pool has a vertigo-defying glass wall that aligns with the hotel’s roofline. From this vantage point, guests can swim or float and drink in a panorama that sweeps from Sugarloaf Mountain right along the bay to the historic Copacabana Fort.
