Perfectly located for exploring Ipanema, Leblon, and just a short stroll to Copacabana Beach. The hotel offers great amenities, including an on-site restaurant and a rooftop bar with stunning ocean and beach views. Everyone—from the concierge and front desk to the beach staff and waiters—was incredibly helpful and welcoming.

2nd time staying here. It's right on the beach. The breakfast/restaurant is tasty and is steps from the amenities of Ipanema, and a short 10 min walk to the south end of Copacabana

Everything about this hotel was excellent! Great location, amazing food and drink and friendly, helpful staff. I’d highly recommend staying on Ipenema beach over Copacabana, it has a much more chilled out vibe and was a lot cleaner, plus it was only a 5 minute walk around the cove (via the street) if you did want to go to that side. The promenade felt safe to walk along and you could eat breakfast right beside the beach. Don’t look for any other hotels, just book this one!

The service there was gold standard. Everyone was very pleasant, helpful, and as a bonus for us, they all spoke English. The rooms were very clean. The only issue we had was our room was on the smaller side for 2 people. Closet space was tight and no real area to place our luggage where it won’t be in the way of navigating the room. Don’t know if all the rooms are the same size. I’m sure others are larger. All in all, a very good experience.

Malo- Ruidoso - imposible dormir.

Estábamos en la mejor pieza, bastante cara, 500 US la noche, la vista espectacular, pero realmente el ruido es espantoso, no se puede dormir en toda la noche, los 6 dias , todos fiesta , gritos, carreras de motos, borrachos peleando, camiones sacando escombros, ruidos de botellas, musica a todo volumen. Pero realmente las 6 noches!! hasta las 6 de la mañana, que amanecian los borrachos durmiendo en la playa. Les comentamos al hotel porque deberian tener doble vidrio, pero ... nada. Realmente No recomiendo el Hotel. Un desastre. Lo otro malo es que no hay nada para comer despues d elas 11 PM.

We knew when we walked into the hotel we made a mistake. Small- lobby is big enough for 2 people in line which is the same path to the restaurant, worse off is the path to the beach, which is a little gross when you’re eating. The 2 elevators fit 3 people, hallways to the rooms are narrow. the room which consists of 2 nightstands, one with a child size chair, bed and wall mounted tv. We upgraded to an oceanfront balcony room for a 7 day stay,($3400 usd) to enjoy coffee, cocktails and meals. No furniture at all except a hanging hammock. No place to sit and eat in the room except the bed. Noise- ridiculous level of noise throughout the entire stay- cobbled stone road beneath the balconies. Motorcycles, carts, and anything else just rumbled, as well as party goers. One night laying awake like we had every night- we looked at each other and just laughed about the noise-, who would have thought. Food- hit or miss very inconsistent Front desk/associates mixed reviews on helpfulness/attitude Recommendations- we originally were going to stay at the Fairmont at Copacabana Beach, but got hooked by a “pricing special by Arpoador. Stay at one of the 30-ish great hotels at Copa and walk to Ipanema. We tried to share our feedback with the Mgr speaking with 6 associates at the front desk over our stay- He never got back to us. I’ve traveled to 2 destinations every year for 20 years & have never written a bad review and now you know
