"Copacabana’s only boutique hotel has a series of designer suites in a business-like, tall, narrow tower."

"Atlantis' rooms are clean and perfectly serviceable, but the whole place could use an update. The location, however – a short walk to either Ipanema or Copacabana beach – is excellent." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Although the airconditioned rooms are simple, the location of this hotel could not be better – it is set in a quiet, safe area just a 2-minute walk from Copacabana and Ipanema beaches."
