The views at @studio.arthurcasas and @oppenheimarchitecture's @hotelemiliano, as always, are at their most spectacular at the top. Here you will find the spa—clad in unpolished black granite, a refuge from the equatorial heat outside—and, one flight up, a rooftop bar and L-shaped pool. Designed to comply with codes that prohibit casting a shadow on the beach, the pool has a vertigo-defying glass wall that aligns with the hotel’s roofline. From this vantage point, guests can swim or float and drink in a panorama that sweeps from Sugarloaf Mountain right along the bay to the historic Copacabana Fort.

Walking along artist and landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx’s celebrated Promenade (1970)—a @unescoworldheritage site and pride of the city— one is immediately drawn to the @hotelemiliano’s striking facade: a honeycombed resin screen inspired by the cobogó, a perforated, ceramic tile typical of many modernist Brazilian buildings of the 20th century. This dynamic elevation is made of white retractable panels that can be opened wide to reveal guest room balconies or closed for privacy, without denying occupants a sea breeze or stunning view. Designed by São Paulo architect @studio.arthurcasas and the U.S.-based @oppenheimarchitecture, the second Emiliano hotel gives the Avenida Atlântica a stylish 21st-century flourish while simultaneously paying tribute to the neighborhood’s mid-20th-century heyday.

#TBT Volume VI, dated July 1896–June 1897, when Record profiled architect Henry J. Hardenbergh. "By far the most conspicuous and familiar of Mr. Hardenbergh's works are the three great hotels which have been erected in the middle part of New York," our critic wrote. One of these commissions was the original Waldorf hotel, which was completed in 1893 on a now-famous Manhattan site at Fifth Avenue and 33rd Street. Record celebrated Hardenbergh's work on the interiors of the 13-story structure writing that "for almost the first time, a systematic attempt was made to secure in a hotel decoration that had a more artistic value and a more serious purport than the journeywork which it had been the rule to employ." The hotel was demolished in 1931 to make way for the Empire State Building, which is where Record's offices are currently located. #AR_History © Architectural Record #newyork #HenryjHardenbergh #interiorarchitecture #interior #designdeinteriores #archidaily #arquitectura #architecture #architect #design #buildings #buildingdesign #Architektur #architettura #archigram #archilovers #archdaily #archilovers #BTS993 #architecturalphotography #geometry #ig_architecture #pocket_architecture #archi_features #architecture_view #architecturelovers #architexture (at Manhattan, New York)
