YOO2 Rio de Janeiro is the first YOO2 hotel (“with many more
to follow”, says proudly John Hitchcox). YOO2 hotels are vi-
brant and personal – it’s a boutique design hotel option with
outstanding service, local soul and the opportunity to connect
with a like-minded local and international community. It’s per-
fect for the young at heart urban explorer looking for the perfect
mix of convenient location, uniquely designed extraordinary liv-
ing spaces with local soul, seamless service and a social atmo-
sphere. From a design perspective, the hotel has been designed
by the YOO studio in its entity, using the local culture as in-
spiration, combining it with the international flair of the YOO
studio, which results in a vibrant style appealing to the modern
urban explorer.
When asked to describe YOO Group in three words, John Hitchcox
promptly answers: “Contemporary, Imaginative, Sophisticated”.
In terms of forecasting, the Group has launched a few residential
projects this year, such as the YOO on the Park, set in the vibrant
heart of Midtown Atlanta and it will have a six-story façade of
living greenery and an exceptional array of amenities and services
focusing on today’s health-conscious, active lifestyles.
