The Bar/Lounge at Hilton Barra Rio de Janeiro

"The twin-tower Radisson Barra (formerly the Sheraton Barra) has a stunning and safe location across the road from the Barra beach"

"But because all work and no play make Jack and Jill a couple of dullards, it also offers a free shuttle to Barra shops and beaches"

"The 298 hotel rooms come equipped with luxurious bedding, smart LED TVs, and Malin + Goetz products, with some suites boasting balconies with views of the Barra lagoon"

"The most advanced and conceptual hotel in the city, it's a sad irony that Barra’s non-stop construction means Rio’s usually inescapable beauty is best sampled through the artwork on the hotel walls, rather than through the windows"

"Club rooms benefit from exclusive access to a club lounge for breakfast and evening snacks and cocktails"

"Features include a rooftop pool and bar overlooking the Jacarepagua Lagoon, plus a well-equipped gym, buffet restaurant, lobby bar and seating areas both inside and out"
