Editorial Review

Uber-sleek hotel as full of Europeans as Europe. Everything else from the nationally grown wood to the Campana brothers' rope lobby chairs ensures the Emiliano stays brasileiro. All technologically thrilling rooms have Japanese-style toilets whose seats can be set to warm up and an aromatherapy-scented pillow menu. Lobby bar pushes the chill factor with books available to accompany your beer. If warming up is in the cards instead, Japanese ofuro soaking tubs in the spa upstairs beckon. Concierge goes so far as to unexpectedly gift guests on their b-days, even once whipping up almond milk for a diet-restricted baby. A helipad on top of the hotel allows VIP guests like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Al Gore and yes, you, to arrive paparazzi-free.
