If you’re traveling to Rio de Janeiro, chances are you’ve already carved out some beach time into the itinerary. With Rio’s lush landscape, it’s impossible to grow tired of the beach-side views even after you’ve spent morning, afternoon and night down at the Copacabana Beach. At the Emiliano Hotel, you don’t have to give up those views once you check in. Designed by Chad Oppenheim and Arthur Casas, this modern hotel features an unusual facade made up of weatherproof panels that provide privacy when closed without sacrificing light, ventilation and views so that you can enjoy all the elements of sun and surf without actually having to be at the beach.
