Perhaps the best hotel at Copacabana area in terms of location/quality/price ratio. Location, location and location – the hotel is super-perfectly located to visit on one side - iconic Copacabana and further away Ipanema beaches and on the other side the central part of the city, Gunabara bay and other areas. The hotel is always full of international visitors, good vibe and dynamism. Excellent bar at roof, must visit one, obviously for views from the tallest building at Copacabana. The area around the hotel is full of life, day and night, you could find everything around, the beach, shops, pharmacies, post office, cafes etc. At Lido square nearby there are minivans which could take you to both Sugarloaf and Corcovado mountains. Crime is not a big issue like maybe in the past. Just be discreet and reasonable, keep your mobile and wallet in the pockets, not hands. Back to the hotel. Rooms are standard, very comfortable. Most of them are with the beach view – the main thing to enjoy in Rio. Prices are generally reasonable given the location. There are cheaper option around but the quality is much lower. There are few more exclusive options around too but they are very very expensive. This hotel is a perfect option in the middle closer to the high quality end that allows you to enjoy your stay in “cidade maravilhosa”, a beautiful city. One final thing, do not miss the sunset at Arpoador peninsula, perhaps the main thing to do in Rio. Enjoy.
