In general very nice, up market, very clean, comfortable stay and convenient with a good location. I think they can do a bit more by the pool section, an upgrade with maybe a better pool and service. Besides that the rest was great, staff were nice and friendly
The pool, really

This is arguably the best hotel in Ipanema/Arpoador. The location right by the promenade is perfect. Moreover, the staff went the extra mile to help me arrange the delivery of a birthday cake to the hotel—they were consistently accommodating and helpful. The restaurant serves delicious food, and the breakfast included with the room rate is outstanding.

I loved the location on the beach with no road in between the hotel and the beach. Breakfast and other meals were excellent quality. Staff was very nice and as efficient as possible for our large group of 35.
A little worn out but totally acceptable. Many guests just coming for the restaurant was a little overwhelming.

Noise during the night, stinky and toxic chemicals they use to clean the rooms - the smell after cleaning service is unbearable.

Location, good breakfast
Cash went missing from our room during housekeeping on the first morning of our stay. We reported it to the hotel immediately and opened a police case.
Despite remaining at the hotel for three additional days, senior management never met or spoke with us, and all communication was limited to WhatsApp.
The handling of this incident was extremely disappointing. We strongly advise future guests not to leave cash or valuables in their room.

Love the location, in Ipanema but no street in front... it has a walking are on the front and is by the beach. The decorations is beautiful, a lot of light, white and wood. Views are fantastic all over, especially at the pool. Loved the Yoga. And the breakfast is top of the line.
I liked everything.

Location was amazing. The rooftop for hotel guests is an amazing feature with an incredible view of the sunset on Ipanema beach. Hotel breakfast was the best we had in Brazil and staff were amazing- from the doormen to the bar staff, everyone was so friendly and helpful.
Room was a little small

Breakfast, location, the design of the hotel and the staff at both restaurant and reception.
We barely slept… we booked a room with city view and there is absolutely zero isolation. We could even smell people smoking on the street. Had to sleep with earplugs and take sleeping pills because it was super noisy. For the price it is very very problematic. Please add double glazing .. it was our last night in brazil ouf of 3 weeks and the worst sleep we had for the most expensive room.

Great location, amazing staff, great food
Room was too small (could barely walk around the bed), no room for luggage. Without AC the room was very humid too, and not very clean (lots of sand on the floor even if we didn’t go to the beach)

Super friendly team - great steam-bath with a view - excellent breakfast with many à la carte options - great lunches and dinner as well - beach-chairs and towels offered - cycles available for free, ideal to cycle the entire beachfronts all the way to the end of Copacabana and then back to Ipanema -
the air-extraction in our bathroom didn't work - so that was a bit annoying when having a shower - apart from that I would come here again and again

View and location were out of this world. It must be the best place to stay in Ipanema. Room was smart and relaxed in style and wonderful bed. And a hammock! Breakfast and cocktails were superb and we loved the rooftop too. We loved it.
There should be heated towel rails in the bathrooms for the quality of this hotel. Also the lobby bathrooms need expansion and a refresh.

We loved the location, beautiful hotel and great service.
Exceptional food, clean and simple.
The booking experience was very pleasant and easy however, we did make a few requests in advance that were not done. I mentioned to hotel three times about the bed configuration as my sis and mom wanted twin beds but they still had double beds. So just be aware to still call hotel before to remind about that. A small detail though in a great stay.

Fabulous location. Great staff.
We missed out on a couple of events going on in the restaurant in the evenings - there was a lack of information on that front. However, that is a minor issue!

Rooms in the 1st floor towards the city are impossible to sleep on. Super noisy, the windows don’t block the sound at all. Light enters through the black out there is a street lamp pointing straight to the hotel.

Amazing staff, great location, very good breakfast, very clean, modern bathrooms.
Not very relevant, but the building from outside needs a new paiting/makeover.

From the style of the hotel, to the food, the live music, the breakfast in front of the ocean. If you go to Rio, book at least one night here!

We had a fabulous view of the beach from our room on 2 of our stays there! It was also a quiet end of the property in terms of other guests
The staff was fabulous. Especially Nick & Bruno & Eli & Steve. I appreciated that the manager Micael took time to talk with me. We returned to the property after a visit to Iguazu to find a personal note welcoming us back. Very nice touch!!
