This five-star Copacabana tower suits you if the SkyLab rooftop restaurant and bar matter as much as the pool. Who can swim isn't published by the hotel.

The pool

The hotel is at Av. Atlântica, 3264 in Copacabana, rated 4.4 from 17235 Google reviews. The SkyLab rooftop restaurant and bar has ocean-view dining, and breakfast there has views from the 30th floor. The pool floor and access rules aren't published.

Our take

Othon is the five-star option in this part of our list, and its review count of 17235 is large. Pestana, two blocks of numbers up Avenida Atlântica, publishes more about its pool. Othon publishes more about SkyLab.

SkyLab reopened in 2024 under chef Rubens Gonçalo. Its breakfast is exclusive to selected room categories, so a standard room may not get you up there. Access to the pool isn't published.
