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
