When we entered the hotel, I was immediately impressed by its impeccable cleanliness and modern design. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Ipanema is conveniently located just a short walk from the beach, shops, and restaurants.
Can see Cris de Redeemer from the rooftop.
Walkable to the famous Arpoador Rock!

5/5 would absolutely stay here again. The hotel is super nice and not too $$. Rooftop is very cool. Cute little pool with some tables to sit. Location is 10/10... legit right on the beach Arpoador. Security - very safe. They are super strict after 11pm... have to show your face to a camera to unlock the door and any visitors not on the reservation have to check in at front desk and show ID/passport. Room - very nice and modern. Clean, nice showers. Front desk was very helpful with activities such as helicopter tour and how to get to sugarloaf and christ. Breakfast was delicious and nice buffet. I am staying here next Rio visit, no doubt!!

The hotel and service are excellent and the location is fabulous. A couple of suggestions to make it even better: 1. The shower in our room (804) leaks flooding the bathroom. Could this be fixed? 2. Coffee and tea facilities as well as a paper tissue box are standard amenities that were missing. 3. The hotel is by the beach, yet there is no shower or even a tap by the entrance, forcing guests to enter the lobby and their rooms covered in sand. 4. There are no umbrellas for the guests, and we were forced to leave under the rain (again, a standard amenity. Apart from those details, everything was perfect.

Top staff and a perfect location

The staff at the hotel are awesome!The.location is amazing. I was only there for one night for business. I realty didn’t get a chance to even get to the rooftop. They acknowledged all my Gold benefits and gave me an early check in and late checkout. When I have to go back to Rio, I will definitely return to this hotel. Highly recommend!
