Excellent location, you can walk to Leblon, Ipanema; a metro station is nearby or if you prefer UBER is very affordable. Hotel staff is friendly especially Leonardo, best concierge ever. He takes the time to answer all of your questions. The breakfast is amazing and we recommend to eat at the restaurant at least once. The food is excellent.
We booked some excursions through the hotel, we recommend the Ginga show, the historical tour with Eduardo. Eduardo is a sweet guy who knows a lot about Rio. Hang gliding with Renato is a must. he is an excellent instructor. Do not do hang gliding with DeHilton , he is rude.
