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
Fodor's "The location close to Ipanema Beach is the main reason to stay at this hotel, which provides guests with beach chairs and umbrella service free of charge."
DK Eyewitness "This hotel occupies a tall tower a block from the sea at Ipanema’s Arpoador end. The rooms on the “Ipanema floor” have clean modern lines and colors, along with Italian furniture."
Time Out "Part of the Golden Tulip international hotel chain, the Plaza is a popular choice with the gay community given its exquisite location at the end of Farme de Amoedo." Full review

Four floors are dedicated smoke-free, and adjoining rooms are available on request.
Rough Guide Star
"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

You should still avoid the standard rooms, which are smaller and face the back of the building.
Lonely Planet "Set in a handsome, white building overlooking Copacabana beach, the Olinda Othon is indeed a classic." Full review
Time Out "Located on the Copacabana beachfront, the Othon classic has something of a boutique feel not found in many of its local competitors." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"The Olinda Rio Hotel has two main draws -- its central Copacabana location right on the beachfront, and its charming Art Deco style, particularly in common areas." Full review
