The collaborative brainchild of Yoo Design Studio and Philippe Starck, Yoo2 Rio de Janeiro hotel is a riot of colour and contemporary Brazilian style – and has some of the best views of Sugarloaf Mountain anywhere in the city. Overlooking Guanabara Bay and Botafogo beach, the rooms unite bold, bright furnishings with a more understated strain of industrial design, capturing the city’s vibrant soul but keeping the look contemporary. Mod-Brazilian restaurant Cariocally is split between a wood-panelled dining room and verdant winter garden, where flavoursome small plates are paired with choice South American wines. The real feather in the hotel’s cap, however, is its rooftop terrace, home to a lively pool and cocktail bar with the best vistas in town.
