We got an ocean view room and it was amazing! The hotel is close to everything: you can get a cab anywhere, or you can take a bus anywhere. The staff is super helpful and they know how to direct you to go anywhere. My husband and I took a bus to see the Palacio do Catete (not usually a tourist attraction) and the receptionists were totally helpful ...

You cannot ask for more at $110 a day and located in one of the most exclusive areas of Rio de Janeiro. I went for business and this area is kind of a long ride from the center of Rio, BUT the location for after working hours is just PERFECT, the surroundings are just beautiful and exotic. The view from the pool of the Corcovado Christ was just wonderful and relaxing!! Just a block from the beach I highly recommend this place!!

We recently stayed at this property & were very diappointed. The hotel was not built
in 2000 as was suggested but probably in the 30's. Very old features in the bathroom altho water pressure was great. We were told we would have an ocean view but we did not. The room was clean but stark.

I like the location, the beach service, excellent breakfast, polite personnel.

From room services, to special accomidations, free breakfast, beach services, etc. IT WAS PERFECT. The location could not have been better. Very close to the beach, shopping, and dining!!!

Stay here any time you are in Rio.

Location and price are the key things. One block from the beach without street vendors or prostitutes in your way. The staff was excellent throughout the establishment. The front desk attendants spoke English and also were very helpful recommending restaurants and getting our group a tour guide with a van big enough for our whole group. Ro-Ro-Ro-Ro. Al your party was the ish. Put some hair on your chest!

The Ipanema Plaza is a medium sized hotel with a good restaurant and comfortable rooms three mins from Ipanema beach, standing on a street full of restaurants. The immediate neighbourhood felt very safe in comparison with the rest of Rio and security was not a problem at this hotel. The larger rooms in the hotel are spacious. Roof top swimming pool ...
