The hotel's 92 rooms and multiple event spaces allow you to host guests under one roof while maintaining the relaxed sophistication Rio's elite beach culture demands.
Great location with a stunning view of Ipanema. Rooftop pool has a bar and is a great place to chill. Rooms are nice and cozy and very helpful staff. Would stay here next time again. Only critique is the elevators are a bit slow and only 2 for 15 floors but not a big deal. Hotel also offers free beach towels and beach chairs, easy access to the beach. Restaurant inside the hotel is also great.
