The hotel's beachfront location means your wedding party wakes to the sound of waves and sunset cocktails overlook the same golden sands where cariocas have gathered for decades.
Every moment here carries the energy of Rio's most storied neighborhood, from ceremony preparation to late-night celebrations.
Incredibly friendly staff, pristine and clean rooms in an all-around excellent hotel with a spectacular location. - sitting on the Praia do Arpoador, the location is unmatched and the hotel is within walking distance to shops in Ipanema, Copacabana and of course sits directly in front of one of Rio’s most beautiful beaches painted with many barracas and a perfect sunset watching spot. Facilities: unfortunately I didn’t get to experience this but I do hear they have a beautiful terrace, gym and roof terrace with a small pool. The bikes you can take are lovely too :) -the arp restaurant is a gem with a really unique cocktail programme- Renan at the bar is super friendly and will chat to you if you sit by the front! Overall a perfect stay
