DK Eyewitness "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
Star Service "Fronting a police post in the heart of Ipanema beach, one block from the famous Girl from Ipanema bar, near popular cafes and fashionable shops, this...hotel has an unbeatable location." Full review

DK Eyewitness "The fabulous views, excellent French restaurant Le Pré Catalan, and quality service make up for the unins pired decor of this hotel."

Star Service "Overlooking Copacabana Beach from the more placid Arpoador end, within walking distance of Ipanema, this property appeals to both business and leisure travelers." Full review
Frommer's "There may be newer, more trendy hotels in town, but when it comes to top-notch service and luxury accommodations, the Sofitel gets it right every time." Full review
