The hotel sits at sea level on Av.
Atlântica, positioning guests for immediate ocean breezes and unobstructed sightlines to Rio's mountain-rimmed landscape.
Really wonderful hotel. For perspective, I am coming from the United States. I enjoyed, the clean aesthetics and high quality finishes, multiple pools and restaurants including the 38th floor roof top, a really nice spa with steam room, sauna, and 3 hot tubs, the location right on the beach. Breakfast was top tier, I only wished my stomach was bigger to try everything. Lots of staff, all helpful and attentive. I could keep going. Maybe a negative for solitude seekers, it can be a busy place.
