"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

"The flagship of the Brazilian Othon chain, this 30-story hotel is not new, and its ambience is functional rather than luxurious."
Time Out
"Unspoilt views along Copacabana and very close to Ipanema, The Othon Palace is well located to get the best of both neighbourhoods and their beaches." Full review

ake your drink to the poolside and make the most of the view over to Sugarloaf Mountain, or head inside to the Lobby Bar where live music can be found from the afternoon.

"Toward the Ipanema end of the Copacabana strip, this property is Othon's proud flagship." Full review

Avoid the unrenovated units on lower floors as they suffer from traffic noise and rickety furnishings.
