Our take
This rooftop is ideal for travelers seeking a refreshing break with a view after exploring Rio's downtown. The pool and sauna offer a relaxing escape, and the informal yet upscale setting suits those who appreciate comfort without excessive formality. However, guests looking for a lively, party-centric rooftop bar scene might find the ambiance too subdued. It caters more to relaxation and scenic contemplation than vibrant nightlife.
- ✓Head to the rooftop pool in the late afternoon to catch the city bathed in golden light before the evening rush.
- ✓Utilize the sauna for a relaxing end to your day, especially after extensive sightseeing in the city center.
- ✓Consider a morning swim to enjoy the pool's tranquility and the fresh city air before the day heats up.
