The Pool at PortoBay Rio de Janeiro Hotel

"The hotel also has a lovely rooftop bar and swimming pool"

"Crisp white decor is a trademark here, and the rooftop pool with its wood-paneled sundeck is first-rate, with excellent views across the bay, and of the Corcovado and the Christ statue"

"The small rooftop pool, poolside bar, and fitness center all have great views, and on the beach, attendants provide guests with towels, chairs, and umbrellas"

"Protruding windows give lots of light and panoramic views of the beach, and there’s a rooftop pool and a good restaurant"

"Though small, the hotel's rooftop pool offers guests fluffy white chaise lounges with enormous beach towels and even more massive ocean views"
