One off penthouses from One Off Places

What better way to launch a collection than to present the world with two penthouses in two of the most vibrant cities in the world.

Flanked by mountains, sandy beaches and lush rainforests fronting deep blue sea, Rio is in one of the most spectacular settings of any city in the world.  Here you will find one of our newest additions to the collection; a 13th floor penthouse apartment with views across the whole of Copacabana; down to the beach, to the city, the Sugarloaf and mountains behind. And with a private hot tub on the terrace....need we say any more....?

This apartment is on the 13th floor of a building which is directly located on the Copacabana beach strip so here you are truly in the heart of the city. Aside from the stunning beach views from both the rooms and the terrace, being so well situated gives you access to the best bits of Copacabana, and endless bars, restaurants and nightclubs.  The apartment is 130 square metres including an 18sqm terrace. The whole penthouse has porcellanato floors, air conditioning and stunning views. There are three double bedrooms, each with ocean views.

From €2100 (£1887) - €2450 (£2201) per week.

If you want the buzz of a Penthouse without the long haul flight, then allow us to introduce Birmingham’s Rotunda.  The cylindrical icon has defined the city's skyline for the past four decades. The building was stunningly refurbished in 2008 - this penthouse apartment is at the very top on the 20th floor and has magnificent views of the city from the large open balcony, lounge and bedrooms.

Design-wise, think contemporary cool combined with swinging sixties style.  Bespoke stylish sofa, designer chairs and a series of fashion photos to invoke the decade.  There's nothing retro about the sleek Poggenpohl kitchen, the pristine white bathrooms or state-of-the-art Apple computer. An iPod dock and beautiful Baby Gaggia espresso maker complete the contemporary look.  It's not just the apartment that has the wow factor - the new entrance to the Rotunda has more than just a touch of swish New York hotel style to it.

From £232 - £500 per night.
