Yoo2, which opened in 2016, has taken a generic high-rise and transformed it into a captivating 138-room hotel with an avant-garde style. Glass elevators ascend up an interior adorned with street art, while the rooftop pool and bar offer 360° vistas over a jaw-dropping stretch of the city. Rooms are spacious and most have alluring views.
You can hire bikes, and the ground-floor restaurant is a fine place to try local microbrews while dining on creative Brazilian fusion fare (mains R$58 to R$77).
