The Pool at Janeiro Hotel

"The pool has views over Ipanema and Leblon Beaches, and the top-floor bar and restaurant, Bar D'Hotel, is a fashionable spot for cocktails and light meals"

"Dine in the neon-retro Bar D’Hotel on the second floor, rent the private movie theater, or sun by the rooftop pool above Leblon Beach"

"The view from the small rooftop pool is spellbinding, but the 60-second walk to one of the nicest stretches of beach around is enough to make you feel pretty pleased with your choice even if the exclusively priced rooms don't include breakfast (R$56)"

"The rooftop pool has incredible views and a unique design, and breakfast gets high marks"

"Post hike, return to the Marina Palace Hotel for cocktails on the roof - which you can enjoy even if you aren't a guest - swim in the infinity pool and love Rio for everything it offers"

"Other attractions include the first-rate Bar D'Hotel restaurant, the trendy open-sided Bar do Lado on the ground floor and the lovely top-floor pool"

"The furnished deck surrounding the tiny rooftop infinity pool provides fabulous views of Ipanema's famed swath of golden sand"
