Botafogo
Yoo2 brings international design credibility to Botafogo — a neighbourhood enjoying a dramatic revival as Rio's most creative new urban zone. The hotel's colourful energy, rooftop views of Sugarloaf, and genuinely excellent communal spaces make it the city's most exciting new hospitality proposition.
Copacabana
A long-standing favourite of return visitors to Rio, the Windsor Atlantica is a Copacabana institution — known for its prime beachfront position, generous breakfast, and the kind of reliable Brazilian hospitality that makes guests feel immediately at home.
Copacabana
The Fairmont occupies the iconic former Rio Othon Palace building with a dramatic 30-storey tower that commands uninterrupted Copacabana Beach views from almost every room. The rooftop Skylab bar has become one of the city's most essential sunset destinations.
Santa Teresa
Housed in a converted 19th-century coffee baron's mansion in the bohemian hillside neighbourhood of Santa Teresa, this MGallery property offers an enchanted alternative to the beach hotels below — with a spectacular pool carved from the rock, panoramic bay views, and genuine artistic character.
Copacabana
The Hilton's position directly opposite Copacabana Beach and its consistently excellent value-for-category make it one of the most reliable choices in the neighbourhood. The rooftop pool and bar with full beach panoramas are particular highlights.
Leblon
Janeiro Hotel brings contemporary Brazilian design to Leblon — Rio's most chic beachfront neighbourhood. The rooftop infinity pool above the Atlantic, combined with some of the city's most spacious rooms, makes it the beach hotel of choice for design-conscious travellers.
