"This place offers design with a capital D." Full review
Concierge

Fodor's
"In front of Leblon Beach and surrounded by designer stores and upmarket restaurants, this hotel is a favorite with chic vacationers." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"The hotel features its designer series, like the mostly white Opala, or the Topázio—which has a glass wall between the bedroom and living area." Full review
DK Eyewitness

Time Out
"An upmarket option on Leblon's sacred beachfront, the All Suites has thirty basic and nine design suites, the latter offering some of the most exclusive rooms anywhere in the city." Full review
Star Service
"Located in the safe upscale area, across Avenida Bartolomeu Mitre from its sibling, Marina Palace, this sleek 17-story glass and concrete tower is the best hotel of its kind on any of Rio's beaches." Full review

Management has succeeded in keeping this property within the boutique-hotel scene in Rio, but they are poor at responding to special requests.

8.0
"With just 41 rooms across 18 floors occupying some of the continent’s most expensive real estate, this is a laidback take on Ipanema’s Fasano, with more spacious suites and fewer airs and graces." Full review

"For a very different hotel experience, consider spending a few nights in the quaint hilltop neighborhood of Santa Teresa." Full review
Concierge
"A colonial-style house in the leafy hillside district of Santa Teresa provides the backdrop for Mama Ruisa, a design-minded B&B that offers personalized service."
DK Eyewitness
"A charming, understated boutique hotel in a converted 18th-century mansion house in Santa Teresa. Each room is named after a different French cultural icon."
Time Out
"Another beautifully-restored Santa Teresa mansion, this time courtesy of Frenchman Jean-Michel Ruis who keeps a hands-on approach to the running of the hotel and the comfort of his guests." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"Far away from the crowds on Copacabana, Mama Ruisa is a small yet sophisticated boutique hotel tucked into the hills of Santa Teresa, Rio's burgeoning artists' district." Full review
