Top-notch concierge and butler services, ensuring personalized attention to each guest’s needs.
Access to the Bodytech gym with a voucher, just a short 500-meter walk away.
Dining at Janeiro is a delight, with the chic and minimalist Janeiro restaurant on the second floor serving as a lovely breakfast venue. Meanwhile, the Cadilha bar and restaurant on the ground floor offers imaginative bistro-style cuisine and craft cocktails.
Little Pool Bar
For a more intimate setting, the rooftop pool and bar provide the perfect spot for a sunset cocktail or a refreshing dip, albeit in a limited space. Do note that the single massage room has limited availability, so planning ahead is advised to enjoy a rejuvenating treatment.
Overall, my experience at Janeiro Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. The boutique style, combined with a sense of glamour and exclusivity, made for a safe and luxurious retreat.
