Sofitel suits an Ipanema stay built around an infinity pool and a poolside bar. The floor and who can swim aren't published, so confirm both, and that the hotel is open, before booking.
The pool
The rooftop infinity pool at Av. Vieira Souto 460 in Ipanema sits next to the Kosta bar and restaurant, with sun loungers. Views cover Ipanema beach, the Atlantic and Dois Irmãos Hill. Floor, heating and access rules aren't published.
Our take
Sofitel and Fasano share Av. Vieira Souto and an Ipanema seafront address. Fasano publishes its 8th floor and says guests only. Sofitel says an infinity pool and a bar, and little else about who gets in.
The catch is the missing detail. The floor, hours and day pass are all unpublished, so you can't plan a visit from the facts. Sol Ipanema is clearer: guests only, heated, and stated plainly.
Good to know

Tips
- Ask whether the Kosta bar takes non-guests before building a visit around it.
Before you go. Check that the hotel is currently open and the pool is in use, because we have seen it flagged as temporarily closed.
