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
