About Hotel Arpoador

Guests arrive at Hotel Arpoador to find themselves steps from Ipanema Beach, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Atlantic Ocean and iconic Two Brothers Mountain.

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.
