This contemporary boutique hotel offers magnificent ocean views from a location at the (less favored) Copacabana end of Ipanema Beach. The property was designed by Philippe Starck but, despite an austere aesthetic, offers a high level of comfort. The 89 rooms come with hardwood floors, dark wood accents and floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto private balconies with panoramic views, and well-appointed suites feature loft-style living rooms and bars. The fashionable Fasano al Mare restaurant serves excellent seafood-oriented Mediterranean cuisine. Other amenities include a glamorous (but loud) bar, a spectacular rooftop infinity pool affording unforgettable vistas, a small spa and a gym. Complimentary surfboard and bicycle rentals are available.

Ipanema location, charming reception staff; fine Fasano al Mare restaurant; spectacular rooftop pool terrace.
Only expensive oceanfront rooms and suites are worthy of consideration; noisy bar/nightclub.
One of the Fasano family’s Gero restaurants is five minutes’ drive away.
Lowest Rate: Superior Courtyard View, $600; Editor’s Choice: Deluxe Oceanfront Room, $860.
