Rough Guide Star
"Anyone who’s anyone has stayed in this gloriously maintained Art Deco landmark, which, despite Copacabana’s general decline, remains a great experience."

Concierge "On a good day, the leafy suburb of Joá lies just 20 minutes by cab from Ipanema; given Rio's congested traffic, however, the trip can easily take more than an hour."
Fodor's "If you're looking for an extra-special place to spend a romantic night in Rio, this luxurious cliffside hideaway is the one to book." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Rio’s finest boutique hotel overlooks the exclusive Joatinga beach. Each of its seven rooms is painted a different color and has a lush marble bathroom to match."
Time Out "A little out of the action, La Suite's elegant lodgings are nonetheless well worth the taxi rides in and out to the nightlife of Ipanema and Leblon." Full review
Afar Magazine "Located in exclusive hilltop neighbourhood Joatinga, cliff-side retreat La Suite by Dussol has all the design requisites of an intimate boutique hotel, and a world-class ocean view."
Travel + Leisure "A seven-room guesthouse clinging to the side of a cliff in Joá, a beachfront suburb just 20 minutes from Ipanema." Full review

And who needs Ipanema (a 15-minute drive away) when you have two swanky hotel pools to choose from—both with breathtaking ocean and mountain views—and Joatinga Beach, a secluded surfer's paradise, just down the road.

"This seven-suite mansion set in Rio’s secluded Joatinga hills was the stylish pioneer that set the standard for boutique hotels in the city." Full review
Michelin Guide "Seven rooms is about as intimate as it gets, and as rooms, they’re remarkable — well-designed, individual, luxe but not ostentatious, and best of all, all seven take advantage of the phenomenal view" Full review
