MGallery Santa Teresa Hotel in 20241-260, open April–September.
Perched in the historic Santa Teresa neighborhood, MGallery Santa Teresa Hotel commands panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro's iconic landscape, from Guanabara Bay to the distant peaks of the Serra da Carioca mountains.
The 19th-century colonial architecture rises above winding cobblestone streets, creating an elevated setting that feels both removed from the city's hustle and intimately connected to its cultural soul.
Floor-to-ceiling windows and terraces throughout the property frame the Atlantic horizon, offering natural backdrops for ceremonies and receptions.
The prefect hotel for a short break if you are looking to explore the coolest neighbourhood in Rio as well visit the likes of Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf. We did 4 nights here to finish our vacation and found the whole experience delightful.
