“High Design, Refined Dining, Deluxe Spa”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

Rio de Janeiro’s newest Design Concept Hotel is in a former historical coffee plantation mansion, located in the trendy Santa Teresa with great views overlooking Rio. Our room was compact but had enough space for a slender work desk and bench at the foot of the bed. The bathroom was open concept to the room with one sink, a large... More

“Stunning hotel!”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

Stayed here for 4 nights as part of a two centre holiday, with Ipanema our first stop. This is a great idea for a holiday as the two areas of Rio are totally different. We had a GF Junior Suite complete with hammock which was modern, very well appointed and stylish as is the hotel throughout. The restaurant is lovely... More

A fabulous hotel of absolute luxury. Beautiful views over Rio from the pool bar, very romantic. Fantastic rooms - we were upgraded to a suite and it was lovely. Extremely helpful staff. Great location for the buzz of Santa Teresa. Wonderful.

“redeemed”

Reviewed 20 April 2013

I must say that things have improved greatly since our disappointing honeymoon stay in December. The hotel management responded to our disappointing review in Trip Advisor with a free stay. We took them up, and it was wonderful. The suite we had was airy and bright, with an amazing view of Santa Teresa and the Corcovado Christ statue. There was... More

“Absolute must for last few days in Rio!”

Reviewed 15 April 2013

After you are done with the beaches of Ipanema and Leblon (an obvious destination when in Rio) you must come and do a few days here in the hills of Santa Teresa at this exquisite hotel. We had been up north in Trancoso for a week (also incredible) and then had a week in Rio to enjoy the beaches and... More

“Inspiring, relaxed chic”

Having stayed down on the main beaches before this was a wonderful find with its colonial arty blend and a view across Rio that you could spend hours looking out at. Infact that view was the reason for several extra drinks at the pool side bar as one watched the lights come on as dusk takes hold. Delicious food though... More

“The Best Place to Stay in Rio!”

Although this Hotel is away from the beaches, it is a must to stay at. Amazing service (which can be touch and go in some of the Beach located Hotels), great spa and restaurant and situated in a really beautiful area of Rio.
