I am so glad we decided to stay here. It is close enough to the action but far enough from all the craziness. It is located in Ipanema right near the border of Leblon. The hotel is actually located in a residential area which was close to tons of stores, restaurants, grocery stores, shopping and much more! Don't get me... more

We used this hotel as our base in Rio, our first stop in Brazil. Staff are lovely! Very welcoming when we arrived, helped with bags up to room. When we got there the engineer are fiddling with tv and, although we speak little Brazilian Portguese we understood that he was telling us it wasn't working! We didn't mind but they... more

We went to Brazil for the first time for a wedding and overall it was a good experience. The hotel is not the best I have stayed in but it's certainly worth considering if you are going to stay in Ipanema/bordering Leblon area, as it is safe. Great breakfast included in your stay - just long lines to be seated.... more

Very nice hotel, good location. One of the very few (not to say the only one) with a balcony overlooking this wonderfull beach. Ipanema is more quiet than Copacabana but you can walk along the beach very easily. The breakfast are great and the rooms quite spacious. A good spot for a romantic trip! more

It was just ideal ...the staff were brilliant...we did have a key problem and had to be moved but they more than made up for it by allowing us to stay on in the new room until we had to leave for the airport. The nearness of the beach was a bonus and the umbrella and chair man was very... more

Very apprehensive about staying at this hotel due to previous reviews. We were pleasantly surprised by the level of service from reception and the bar staff. Reception especially spoke excellent English much to our relief. Any minor problems were quickly sorted out without a fuss. Breakfasts were excellent, which could not be said for the food served in the pool... more

We spent 10 days on this hotel in last March. The views from our balcony were splendid right in front of Ipanema beach. The room it self was nothing special but enough to rest and enjoy the sunset. There was a door conecting to the room beside wich didn´t gave us enough privacy and it could be better insonorization from... more

This was the first stage of a 4-destination holiday, and my first taste of South America. I stayed here with 3 of my friends, and we had all read the reviews on this website prior to departure, and were a little concerned about what the hotel would be like. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised! The staff were very friendly... more

It didnt take long for me to know that this was not going to be a pretty weekend. The reservation people alone talk Portuguese about you behind your back and really have no interest in helping you. Their website offers a Day Spa that hasn't been in service for a YEAR. Yet when I asked why they would false advertise... more
