Yoo2 Rio de Janeiro

Located right in front of Botafogo Beach, this five-star hotel boasts an incredible view of Sugarloaf Mountain and Corcovado. Opened in 2016, it brought a new design concept to the city, thanks to London’s Yoo studio by Philippe Starck. The 143 rooms feature bold colors and greenery everywhere, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of Guanabara Bay. The rooftop pool, with swings and armchairs perfect for enjoying drinks, sits right under Christ the Redeemer. Its prime location near BotaSoho, a trendy area full of hotspots, is another plus.
