Very friendly and Helpful in general - but not very personal. Not 5 star feeling more 4,5 .
5 star ( Europe comparison ) feels more personal, luxurious.
Missing elegance .
Standard of construction is more 3,5-4, ie details in carpenter work. Lose things , elevator feels old even if quite new (?) etc
However location is great

The room was spacious and clean. The location was perfect. But the stars of my trip were the staff. They were so accommodating and kind. They booked my tour for me. They arranged transportation to and from airport. They even went to the pharmacy for me when I was injured. They left little treats in the room daily: hair tie, fruit, champagne, bath salts for NYE tradition, desserts. I will only stay there when I visit Rio.

Love this hotel! Very clean, nice and high quality.
The staff just makes the experience even better!
Everyone is so welcoming and helpful.
To mention a few names of the people that helped me this stay on a daily basis: Rilary (at the front desk, she’s the best, give her a raise and a bonus); Ferreira, Lorenzo, Samuel, Amanda & Everton (at the rooftop, they served me on the daily, even had my preferences memorized, great service); Taisa, Elisa, & Mariana(at the spa, always so warm and helpful); and lastly Giselle (best masseuse in the house)!
10/10 recommend!

Lovely spot, great staff, rooftop was brilliant. Housekeeping was the only disappointing part - had to ask for things to be replaced, had some hairs left in the bathroom when it was cleaned (I’m bald!) and never had any bottled water.

Unfortunately, the quality of service has noticeably declined. The reception team appeared distant and unwelcoming, conveying a sense of dissatisfaction rather than hospitality. There seemed to be a significant number of staff members in training, which may help explain the lack of coordination and polish throughout the experience.
The infrastructure also feels dated. The elevators are old and unusually slow, and much of the furniture shows clear signs of wear. It is disappointing, as the hotel has lost much of the warmth and charm it once embodied.
Given the current standards, I would recommend considering alternatives such as Fasano or Copacabana Palace, both of which offer a far superior level of service, comfort, and overall experience.

We loved our stay at the Emiliano. The hotel was beautiful with a fabulous rooftop pool. The attention to detail was evident throughout our stay and the spa was a luxurious escape. We definitely would stay again and upgrade to an ocean front room!
