DK Eyewitness "This beachside fourstar hotel is the Ipanema representative of the Best Western chain. Rooms are a little small with standard hotel furnish ings. The higher floors are quieter."
Time Out "The rooms are clean, well equipped and unremarkable affairs, but if you have the beach view and the sun is out then the lack of luxury indoors is probably going to be the least of your considerations." Full review
Star Service "Fronting a police post in the heart of Ipanema beach, one block from the famous Girl from Ipanema bar, near popular cafes and fashionable shops, this...hotel has an unbeatable location." Full review
National Geographic "Opposite the Posto 9 lifeguard station; one block from Garota de Ipanema bar." Full review

The Telegraph7.0
"It boasts a top location, well-meaning staff and decent food, and yet possesses a total lack of character, real comfort or true value for money.

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
