LikedA wonderful yet a bit expensive hotel in the heart of Leblon. The neighborhood is relatively safe (also for walking in the evening), has good restaurant options and a beautiful beach, and provides good subway and Uber connections to other parts of Rio. The hotel itself is relatively low key, which we liked. Our room had a nice balcony with one chair, which allowed relaxing after a busy sightseeing schedule. The room was clean and huge, offered ample storage space, excellent lighting, and strong Wifi, and two cans of free water were replenished every day. Breakfast was delicious, and staff in the breakfast room was a delight.
DislikedWe never saw the Happy Hour, which supposedly was offered every day from 5 to 7 pm. But it wasn’t important to us in any case.
