Great place, rooms need an update
Loved the hotel and the price couldn't be better for the location and the hotel staff and services. Leblon is a better beach as it is less crowded and much cleaner than Ipa & Copa, but, you can walk to Ipa if you want. The restaurant on level 2 was nothing special, especially since there are great restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. One of the hotel highlights is the roof top bar (on floor 26). Brand new, great drinks, a nice pool and good food. A great place to see the city at its best before heading out at night. The only negative is the rooms need a major overhaul... old, musty and outdated. We were on Floor 14, so maybe the hotel is updating floor by floor. But, who spends time in their room while in Rio?
