La Suite by Dussol is an atmospheric hotel with dramatic coastal views and its own very stylish and idiosyncratic "modernist" art vibe. The rooms are eclectic, spacious, comfortable and also stylish in their own way. The pool area, separate from the main lounge/terrace area, is very nice also, peaceful with dramatic views. Burger (and fries) ordered by the pool side was one of the best I've had in many years (for real), noteworthily good. Breakfast on the terrace (again with dramatic views) is good (although simple - but personally I like that). The property is located down the coast from Rio, I guess in a suburb of Rio, and accessible through a winding private driveway with gated security which together with the property's secluded and leafy nature makes for a kind of "James Bond" hideaway feel, in my view that's not a bad thing! Service is pitched just right, led in the day by Emily, available on whatsapp, and nothing is too much to ask. Breakfast can be calendared by whatsapp and you are likely to have the terrace to yourself which makes for an exclusive feel.Two minor reservations are not to do with the hotel management at all. One is the occasional music from an adjacent (private) property which is unfortunate given the whole advantage of this hotel is its peaceful, secluded and leafy nature. But it is not a serious problem at all. The second is actually the secluded nature of the property - Uber is hard to come by (although does work), the novelty of the winding driveway in and out wears off slightly, and the car journey into central Rio is quite long and prone to traffic. But you would be foolish to come to this property to rush around too much, it is best for a quiet time enjoying the extraordinary ambience that this hotel has created and the interesting location. Regret not booking longer, hope to return. Highly recommend.

I've traveled throughout the world and I literally gasped when I entered the lobby. The view is dramatic and gorgeous. I loved both rooms (the purple suite the first night and the red suite the second night) and the interaction with all of the staff. While the hotel is fairly close if you intend to climb Pedra da Gavea (which I did), it's a bit far from some of the more touristy beaches (which I avoided). Ubers were generally timely and able to find the location, and there is a good supermarket about a 7 minute drive away. Staff were kind and accommodating and anything you need can be requested via Whatsapp. The breakfast on the terrace overlooking the bay was really special.

This property is very beautiful in a secluded and remote part of Rio. The mansion is beautiful appointed and has magnificent sunrises overlooking the bay. I highly recommend this location for a couple as they offer intimate dining experience.
