Arena Copacabana suits guests who want a rooftop swim on Avenida Atlântica and don't need a day pass, since access is limited to hotel guests. Booking on the official website adds a rooftop welcome drink.

The pool

This 4-star hotel at Av. Atlântica, 2064 in Copacabana has its pool on the rooftop. Access is limited to guests. Floor, hours and heating aren't published.

Our take

Arena sits in the same group as Ritz Copacabana: both are Copacabana rooftop pools for guests only. Ritz publishes its views and pool style, while Arena's own pages say little about the pool itself.

The downside is how much is missing. Floor, hours and heating are all unpublished, so confirm them with the hotel before choosing it for a swim-focused trip. There is a rooftop gym, which is useful on a day you can't get to the beach.

Good to know

Tips
