Rio de Janeiro Concierge Hotels

The staff was nice. There were four adults in our party and the rooms were able to accomodatae us comfortably. The breakfast was good. Although I do not think travelers should depend on people in other countries speaking their language, it was helpful that several staff did make that effort for us. I can't say enough good things about the people of Brazil. They are kind to each other, to their children, and to ignorant tourists. I didn't see anyone being rude or obnoxious in two full weeks. I'm going to look more into their child-rearing practices. They have something going on that we need to learn to turn out such nice folks!

The hotel is located very close to the capacabana beach (2 blocks), the 1 person room is really small, smaller than a internal cruise room, but was very clean, an the bed was confortable. The air conditioner was a little loud. But for a economic visit to Rio is excelent option!!! The tours sell in the hotel was very nice!

This was an emergency trip for a family illness. Under this stressful condition, the InterContinental was very helpful. Their customer service was fantastic. They helped with booking issues and adjustments, took my broken cell phone to see if it could be fixed and took care to get us bilingual taxi drivers. The hotel is in a beautiful location and on a less-used, but a beautful beach.

Rio was a new experience for me in terms of the language, customs, and orientation of the city. Thank goodness for the superb staff at the Windsor Barra, their linguisitic skills, their clarity, and their eagerness to help guests. Very professional, graceful, and helpful. In addition, the hotel is immaculate, beautifully appointed, and very comfortable. The conference facilities at the Windsor are all first-rate. A wide range of rooms available for professional meetings -- plus great catering by the staff and chefs. We had delightful meals and snacks. Another added feature is the varied and tasty breakfast buffet every morning at the hotel. If you visit the Windsor Barra, be sure to ask the staff about tours available in the area. I took a compact but eye-opening half-day tour that gave me a nice tast of the city. Yes, the Barra di Tijuaca area is far away from the tourist "action" of Copa and Ipanema. But that is also a blessing. The area is so calming. One of the best features? The snack bars that dot the lovely walkway directly on the beach? Stop there for a quick beer, cocktail, or snack . . . all at a reasonable cost with a million-dollar view of the ocean.

Excellent hotel with friendly staff, clean, amazing location.

Good location in Bustling Copacabana neighborhood across street from subway and near banks and other services. Can walk to beach. Breakfast was very nice. Rooms were good. Internet service with hotel computers in lobby was very useful. No complaints at all.

if you have a plan to stay in Rio De Janeiro, use this hotel a little bit outdated, but safe, clean. morning buffet: large selection of cheese, juice, bread.
