"Over a hundred rooms, almost on the beach and with a sizable rooftop pool it has much to offer, yet in places it feels weary and in need of some love and attention." Full review
Fodor's
"In the heart of Ipanema's shopping and dining district...this hotel has standard accommodations and in-room amenities but a great rooftop view—a postcard shot of Corcovado and the lagoon. " Full review
