Fodor's "The flagship of the Brazilian Othon chain, this 30-story hotel is not new, and its ambience is functional rather than luxurious."

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.
Star Service "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.
Rough Guide "With almost 600 guest rooms, this is a favourite of tour groups."
Afar Magazine "The ocean view rooms at the Rio Othon Palace offer some of the best views in the city." Full review

Make sure to ask for a room on a high floor.
