Frommer's "The fabulous location -- just 1 block from Ipanema beach, in the heart of the neighborhood's trendy gay section -- is why so many stay here." Full review

"The luxurious Ipanema Plaza (part of the Dutch-owned Golden Tulip chain) is small enough to provide individual attention to guests."
The Telegraph7.0
"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
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"A top choice, the 18-story Plaza features nicely decorated rooms with tile floors, a muted color scheme and sizable windows to let in the tropical rays." Full review

Time Out "Another beautifully-restored Santa Teresa mansion, this time courtesy of Frenchman Jean-Michel Ruis who keeps a hands-on approach to the running of the hotel and the comfort of his guests." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Far away from the crowds on Copacabana, Mama Ruisa is a small yet sophisticated boutique hotel tucked into the hills of Santa Teresa, Rio's burgeoning artists' district." Full review
