Honorary Citizen of Rio de Janeiro

During a ceremonial event on February 28, 2025, at the Palácio da Cidade in Rio, our CEO Amos Engelhardt was officially named an Honorary Citizen of Rio de Janeiro by the city’s mayor, Eduardo Paes. As a visionary and bridge-builder between Brazil and Europe, he has brought the unique joie de vivre, hospitality, and culture of Rio to Germany and Austria through “Rioca – The Brazilian Design Hotel.” His work not only promotes intercultural exchange but also sends a strong social message. For more than 15 years, Amos Engelhardt has been committed to social projects in Brazil—especially for disadvantaged children from the favelas. The Medalha Tiradentes was awarded to Amos Engelhardt on March 1, 2025, by Rio de Janeiro’s State Secretary of Tourism, Gustavo Tutuca, in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro.

Live like in Rio

We bring Rio feeling to you

Cariocas are the residents of Rio. How are they? It’s not something you can explain; it’s something you can only feel.

Rioca was born out of love for the Cariocas: We traveled to Brazil to experience the beach and sun, but always returned because of the hospitality, zest for life, and warmth of the Cariocas.

Once you’ve experienced it, you never want to leave. There are no strangers here. Those who arrive become friends. And those who walk through our door become Cariocas themselves.
