Our stay at Santa Teresa Hotel Rio was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and impeccable service. The hotel perfectly combines luxury, comfort, and the unique charm of Rio's Santa Teresa neighbourhood. The rooms were elegant, the facilities outstanding, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of.
A special mention must go to the breakfast team. Aroldo, Tomas, and Tony were truly fantastic every morning. Their...

Our stay at the Rio Design Hotel was the perfect accommodation for our trip to Rio De Janeiro. The location was wonderful, a mere minute walk to Copacabana beach, and the staff were incredible. We arrived very early from a 12 hour flight and were far too early to check in. Exhausted, i fell asleep in the lobby and Pedro at the reception expedited our room, which was incredibly kind and very much appreciated. Pedro was the highlight of our stay, and i would always say hello and goodbye to him and...
