Great location to enjoy two famous beaches. Cute restaurant downstairs and small rooftop pool to enjoy. Yoga every weekday morning 8-9

Great hotel! Amazing staff and location and a very good breakfast with a sea view. The cocktails at the swimming pool bar are fantastic and sleeping with the sound of the ocean makes the price worth every penny. Definitely recommend the hotel and the restaurant that has excellent live music on Thursdays.

Form more important than function... nice location, lovely friendly and helpful staff and the design is great. But it's vastly overpriced for what it offers. The breakfast is a la carte only (no buffet as advertised somewhere), the outdoor terrace is plagued by wasps when you are eating, the "pool" is little more than a postage stamp, basically unusable (definitely impossible for swimming). And the roof terrace, though cute, is crowded with deckchairs in lines that hardly get any sun due to the shade from nearby massive buildings. It's a good location but a bit noisy if you face the ocean as there are often bands or singers busking there.

Beautiful Hotel, but Details Need Attention I had been eyeing this hotel for a while, as it always looked charming and sophisticated from the outside. When I finally traveled to Rio, it was my first choice. The location is perfect—right in front of the beach—and they provide beach service (chairs and umbrellas), which is very convenient. The breakfast was another highlight: a small buffet, but a wide à la carte menu, and the common bar is pleasant. We also had a great couple’s massage—thank you Miguel and Amanda! However, a few things could be improved. The pillows were extremely soft and unsupportive, among the worst I’ve encountered in a hotel. The towels were quite worn out, which is not what you expect from a hotel in this category. Be careful when booking: not all rooms have a view. Ours faced a wall, with no natural light—it felt like being in a storage room. Noise was also a problem: housekeeping was loud and even entered the room at 8:40 AM without knocking. The bathroom was clean but had visible mold in some areas, probably due to lack of ventilation. While the hotel promotes eco-friendly practices (like refillable toiletries), the lights are not linked to the room card, so they stay on if you forget to switch them off when leaving. Overall, it’s a nice hotel with great potential, but a few details should be improved to meet the expectations of its category and price range.

Great location and food but small rooms The hotel is very well located at the end of Ipanema beach with a restaurant that backs onto the beach. The food is very good and reasonably priced but the rooms were on the small side. Reasonable value for money given location

Perfectly located for exploring Ipanema, Leblon, and just a short stroll to Copacabana Beach. The hotel offers great amenities, including an on-site restaurant and a rooftop bar with stunning ocean and beach views. Everyone—from the concierge and front desk to the beach staff and waiters—was incredibly helpful and welcoming.

2nd time staying here. It's right on the beach. The breakfast/restaurant is tasty and is steps from the amenities of Ipanema, and a short 10 min walk to the south end of Copacabana

Everything about this hotel was excellent! Great location, amazing food and drink and friendly, helpful staff. I’d highly recommend staying on Ipenema beach over Copacabana, it has a much more chilled out vibe and was a lot cleaner, plus it was only a 5 minute walk around the cove (via the street) if you did want to go to that side. The promenade felt safe to walk along and you could eat breakfast right beside the beach. Don’t look for any other hotels, just book this one!
