Choose Janeiro for warm water high above Leblon, as long as you're staying the night. The infinity-edge pool sits by the 18th-floor Little Pool Bar, and the hotel lists no day pass.
The pool
This 5-star Leblon hotel has an infinity-edge rooftop pool beside the 18th-floor Little Pool Bar. From the top floor you get direct ocean and Rio skyline views. Access is the catch: the hotel publishes no day pass, so you need a room.
Our take
Janeiro is one of the few pools on our list where the hotel itself says the water is heated, and Sol Ipanema is the other guests-only pool in that group. It also gives a floor, 18th, for the bar beside the pool, where Hotel Fasano publishes the 8th.
The downside is that you can't test it without booking. Pool hours aren't published and there's no day pass, so ask before you book if you plan to swim at a set time.

Tips
- Email the hotel for pool hours before you book, since none are published.
- Rio's average highs reach 29.4 C in November, 30.3 C in December and 31.5 C in January. Heating matters most in the cooler months.
Before you go. Confirm pool hours and any non-guest bar access with the hotel, because neither is published.
