Less than a dozen rooms here connect so be sure to request one early.
Lonely Planet "Not to be confused with the slightly fancier Mercure Arpoador, this hotel offers trim and tidy suites, with pressed-wood floors, big windows and light, muted colors."

"This Grand Mercure – modern, stylish but somewhat isolated from the rest of Rio...it's ideally located for the regular international music festivals and sports events in the city." Full review
Fodor's "The excellent location in front of Copacabana Beach is this hotel's main draw; the rooms are clean and reasonably tasteful, and some have been recently refurbished" Full review
