Concierge "Until the Fasano showed up, this was the only top-tier hotel in Ipanema actually fronting the beach, and it remains to be seen how long it can rest on its location laurels."

Be sure to get a room that's been renovated.
DK Eyewitness "Service is superb in Caesar Park, a business hotel over looking Ipanema Beach. Views are excellent, as with the majority of Rio’s towerblock hotels."
Time Out "The lobby of Ipanema's Caesar Park begins to hint at the five-star prices in store with its restrained masculine tones and buffed floors." Full review
Star Service "Professional and attentive doormen welcome guests to a narrow yet contemporary marble lobby appointed with fresh flowers, Oriental rugs, objets d'art and parlor-style marble tables and chairs. " Full review
Rough Guide "One of Rio’s finest hotels, the Caesar Park features every modern luxury that its celebrity guests would expect."
Travel + Leisure "On a prime spot on famed Ipanema Beach, the Caesar Park is a favorite with top executives and visiting dignitaries." Full review

Don't miss the hotel's Galani restaurant for its award-winning Feijoada, Brazil's national dish, and local musicians on Saturdays.

"The sandy-toned lobby feels like an extension of the beach opposite, a trick that has been maintained throughout its rooms and suites. " Full review
Fodor's "This beachfront hotel has established itself among business travelers, celebrities, and heads of state...the suites are impressive, other rooms feel more functional than luxurious." Full review
Frommer's "The Sofitel is an elegant and sophisticated hotel with probably the best location in Rio: it sits right on Copacabana Beach, across from the fort, and Ipanema Beach is just a 5-minute walk away" Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Popular with business travelers, this well-located beachfront option has sizable rooms with a warm, inviting feel, artwork on the walls, and flat-screen TVs." Full review

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."
The Telegraph7.0
"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
