This hotel has a great location within walking distance (2 mins) from Ipanema beach. I could see the beach from my window, as well as the Corcovado! On the same street you can also use the "bike rio" stand which is Reals 5 per day for a city bike. It's easy enough to use and a great way to visit... More

We had a room on the 15th floor with a side view of the beach which was good. However, the room was well in need of a full renovation. The bath was a yellow plastic like bath with a shower over. It was very dirty along with the tiles. The grout between the tiles was moldy and looked dirty and... More

I stayed here for 2 nights after staying at the Hotel Vermont (around the corner) as part of a tour. This hotel was infinitely better. Very friendly, welcoming service on arrival. I had a room on the 15th floor which meant I had great views of the beach from the window. Hotel Vermont was cheaper, but really quite poor quality.... More

The best thing you can get from there it is the service; the rest has a “high level” status of three stars hotel. Do you want/need fancy sheets, fancy pillows and a fancy beach view balcony? Then I will recommend you the Fasano Hotel, which is right next to it.

The hotel has a small hall, rooms look old fashioned and in the details the rooms look over-aged sometimes. Food is asiatic in lunch and dinner times but this is a welcome change! The bar is too small inside but no need: you can go to the Davassa bar opposite with nice waiters. The hotel offers a space and chairs/towels... More

Great hotel and great location a block from the beach.....terrific views on upper floors to the sea. Also, great for eating out locally and ease of going out in the evenings. The hotel also has a good Asian restaurant and breakfast possibilities are almost endless. Rooms are a bit tired but clean and well maintained. In Rio this hotel is... More

I stayed at Ipanema Plaza in July 2010. I was traveling by myself and what I liked the most about the hotel was the location, 2 blocks from the beach and literally in the middle of many restaurants and cafes, and also at walking distance from Copacabana, Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, and shopping malls. The area is one of the... More

This must have been our ninth year at this hotel, the main reason being the location half a block from the beach and walking distance to several restaurants and shops. But location isn't the only reason. True, Brasil has become more expensive in recent years and that has applied to hotel prices in particular and with the Olympics and World... More

Stayed during a business trip. Lack of WiFi was a big disadvantage. No cofee/Tea facility in the room and with breakfast starting at 06:30 AM, a big inconvenience for early risers like me. Even the breakfast is nothing special except for the selection of fresh fruits.
