A very classy property that has been well maintained. Has a great location across the beach although a bit outside of downtown. It is one beach down from Ipanema. The food was mediocre at best but average for Brazil where they don't season or even use salt. The free breakfast is extensive but bland.

Please read until the end. -The staff at the front desk was very pleasant & spoke great English. housekeeping also did a great job daily. I got sick & the room service frequently brought up more tea upon request. -The property is beautiful and provides amazing beach views as well as views of the biggest favela. They have a nice gym, & spa as well as a beautiful elevated “lawn”. The pool is also decent. Honorable mention, the restaurant on the roof is stunning, with great drinks & nice food. I recommend the salmon. The bar outside was okay. My drinks were constantly made with extra lemon. They have live performances from a dj or pianist every now & then. -Food: I included free breakfast in my booking and it was worth it. They have many options that change through the week and a live chef that makes the best omelettes daily. There was also a detox juice that tasted amazing lives up to its name. Now.. my ⚠️ONLY ISSUE ⚠️ with this property is that on day 5 out of 7, the Water Shut Off. I could not bathe or brush my teeth with the sink or shower. I had to use the water bottles in the fridge and after explaining this to them they STILL charged us for the water. They also eventually stopped answering the phone once they realized the issue. The water came on for an hour and then went off again. If you walk 2 blocks down you’ll see all the locals outside until 4am with the best local dishes for $3-$5usd. The “FUN” aka LAPA is a 30min $15usd uber ride away! The GIG airport is 40min

El hotel es hermoso, su infraestructura increíble y el personal de lujo. Lo unico a mejorar es que tardan 35-40 minutos en traer algo a la habitación, por ej una toalla. Aun que la verdad, nada va a cambiar mi experiencia extraordinaria con ustedes! creo que sus instalaciones son preciosas, super updated y con variedad en el desayuno. El personal es inmejorable, realmente siempre predispuestos a ayudar, no recuerdo sus nombres (perdon) pero la chica de recepción del dia que llegue y el mozo de la pileta hicieron la diferencia con servicio y buen trato. Totalmente recomendable, es un hotel que no pueden perderse…💖

The clock in the room was not on the correct time and could not be changed. I did ask for someone to come and change it but that did not happen. Also the air conditioning could not be set to a temperature that I wanted which made the room very cold. Other than that I thought it suited my purposes perfectly

The room itself was nice and had great views with very close proximity to the beach, however, both check in and check out was incredibly long and inefficient. Customer service was not great and the food at the restaurants were horrendous. Breakfast buffets was fine but very limited options for vegetarian/ non dairy. Also had to contest charges to receive Expedia reward benefits for free beverages. I probably would not stay here again for the price paid.

Not a great experience
The only 5 * about this hotel is the price of food and drinks. The gym and pool are Ok. The sun loungers a hazard in the heat you get burnt. The one towel policy means the loungers are not fully covered hence the danger. I changed rooms as there was no hot water. The staff do their best but with no English it is not easy. Thais on night reception is of great help. There is no free water on arrival or in your room no coffee making facilities in the room. There is soap but no shower gel. Overall I would go elsewhere.

If you like good Architecture...then you picked the right place! This was designed by the same individual who designed most of Brasilia and the United Nations Headquarters in NYC! The food and service was excellent! The beach was right across the street...and great shopping a block away. I would rate it the best facility overall by far I have ever experienced!

Hotel is amazing. Large rooms and public spaces. Very quiet and safe. The issues are room condition could be better (maintenance and cleaning), HVAC has no auto nor temperature settings. So it will get too cold. Phones are useless. Rarely someone answer the phones when you dial 0 or 9. Staff is very nice. But clearly hotel needs to hire more people and improve in room amenities: no robes, no body lotion, no laundry bags/slips, no hotel directory.

After checking in, I went to my room and noticed the lock piece from above was missing the hook part and immediately let the front desk know. For safety purposes I wanted to have more than just one lock. They gave me the option of a new room or for maintenance to come in and fix the door of the room I booked. When I went to go check the other room, it had the same problem. I thought it was odd that the metal piece was broken off, so I requested them to come in and fix it. The door locks was my only issue. The rest was pleasant, a lot of food options for breakfast and dinner. At the front desk they also provide you with information many excursions. The view from my room was beautiful.
