The Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro has reopened its iconic swimming pool following a four-month renovation. Designed by architect Ivan Rezende, the new aesthetic utilizes organic curves inspired by ocean movement and features Italian glass tiles in ocean-inspired tones. The design incorporates elements referencing classic mosaics by artists Paulo Werneck and Candido Portinari.

The renovation is part of a broader project involving the hotel’s Annex Building, which is expected to reopen next month under the name ‘Edifício Piscina’.
