Description:

  • The only thing that keeps Rio's premier design hotel from getting three stars is its location just off the busy Avenida N.S de Copacabana; it lacks the sex appeal of a beach address. Inside, the hotel is fabulous. A team of 10 well-known Brazilian designers gave each floor a unique look. Styles range from classic-romantic with elegant furniture and pale colors to the environmentally friendly rooms, furnished using only recycled wood and natural fabrics. Our favorite rooms are the ones designed by Marcia Muller. Perfect for couples, the design is sensuous with gorgeous indirect lighting and luxurious white linens. The shower is separated by a glass wall from the bedroom and allows you to see silhouettes in the bathroom. All rooms come with queen-size or twin beds with 200-thread linen and goose down pillows, 21-inch flatscreen TVs, and high-speed Internet. The spacious suites feature large bathrooms (some with sauna or tub) and DVD players. Check the website for excellent specials.
