Great location. Friendly staff, especially check-in team during the day. Rooms are small and comfortable. Waiters were very friendly but food is definitely below par. Would have expected better food all around for the place.

It’s a small hotel, so the floors are pretty quiet. The restaurant / bar is as close to ‘on the beach’ as you can get. A few steps from the amenities of Ipanema Amazing views from the rooftop

Lovely boutique hotel in Ipanema
We loved this beautifully designed and comfortable hotel-- it is rare in Copacabana and Ipanema, since it is right on the beach, rather than across a busy street, as most of the other local hotels are. I would recommend an ocean view room-- from what I could tell some of the rooms are smaller and there is nothing nicer than waking up to the sound of waves. We ate most of our meals here-- delicious, and breakfast is generous and cooked to order. Wonderful beach with umbrellas and chairs, though the rooftop pool is small, not for swimming.
