Rio de Janeiro hotels near Arpoador Beach

Pros: The hotel and its stuff was very nice, the view from the balcony was amazing, the nearest beach very clean and beautiful, good restaurants near, very quiet place

Pros: A fantastic hotel. Service was impeccable, the rooms were clean, well designed and stunning views. A great location for Rio with a fun rooftop pool scene.

Cons: It is expensive.

Pros: Excellent

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything!

Cons: It seems they sell day passes for the rooftop pool - so the crow up there was a bit questionable.

Pros: Swimming pool

Pros: the hotel is super expensive for what it provides. the room is average, breakfast below average for the price u pay.

Pros: This is a wonderful hotel, luxury one, really fancy and well located. The poll bar is amazing and the view from the pool as well!! Staff is really really nice! We loved it!!!

Cons: nothing

Pros: The hotel's location in Rio de Janiero is great, which was a relief as the concierge offered to send an armoured car for our transfer from the airport (no kidding !). Great spot for Ipanema Beach, the Fort, the Sunday Hippy Market, restaurants and shopping and walking distance to the lagoon and Copacabana. On the Sunday morning of our stay the roads along Ipanema and Copacabana beaches were closed to traffic, and we join a great crowd of runners and cyclists getting some exercise in the sun. The design aesthetic throughout is quite pleasing. The rooftop pool is lovely, though overrun with Instagrammers (ok - that's like the free entertainment) and aspiring high-rollers trying to get noticed. The gym was spectacularly well equipped, and the concierge team were helpful when I asked for advice on booking an excursion across the city.

Cons: My wife and I were initially given a first floor room that had a nasty smell, a noisy AC unit, and bedsheets that were damp. Welcome to the Leading Hotels of the World (Not !). We spoke to 4 members of staff, who all confirmed the problem, yet still waited over an hour before being offered another room on the same floor, and a complimentary treatment in the spa (which we were were later charged for). Our sleep was disturbed by noise from the beach and the road outside during every night of our stay. It transpires (having spoken with one of the customer service managers) that all of the rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors are blighted in this way. I really object to paying as much as the Fasano charge, and not getting a decent night's sleep. There are so many members of staff working in this hotel, you might imagine it should make for great customer experience. But the staff in reception pass the buck; the maid wouldn't let us enter our room one afternoon (we went to the rooftop bar to wait till she released our room and our stuff); and the army of waiting staff around the rooftop bar and pool have a tendency to ignore mere mortals and focus their attention on wealthier customers. You can tip and tip again, you can pay the exhorbitant additional charge for breakfast, and you can smile and pass the time with the many members of staff who will enquire about your day. But you may well find yourself paying five star money for a much poorer service.

Pros: Comfortable room. Well situated.

Cons: Dark. Snobby staff. Expensive. Breakfast not included.

Pros: Rooftop pool and bar were spectacular! Above and beyond service-- you feel like you have your own personal assistant

Cons: The courtyard rooms are a bit small given how expensive the hotel is.

Pros: You feel like in any deluxe hotel excellent service very professional staff I would definitely recommend this hotel

Pros: Good roof top terrace with amazing view and pool. Nice breakfast.

Pros: Excellent breakfast and very attentive staff. Perfect location

Cons: No complaints

Pros: Perfect location, great rooftop pool bar with perfect views of the coastline/ Pao Asucar/ beach etc. Very charming service and a great breakfast. Copacabana as a destination is a mixed bag. I would call it faded glory. It is of course very beautiful but in desperate need of some TLC. Now quite tacky and touristy on the one hand and dangerous on the other...! So we didn't stay for long but really enjoyed this hotel for the short time we were there

Cons: This is a very good 4 star hotel. Not flashy and over luxurious, it just works. If you want sparkly and luxurious this isn't the place - you need to go down the road to the Belmond. Having said that, we asked for a high floor room and got it, the windows are bigger and there's a rooftop bar so I'm back to the Miramar!

Pros: location

Cons: small pool and being charged R$26 for a half bottle of imported Italian mineral water

Pros: Great location Large and comfortable room with an amazing view on Copacabana beach and Pao de Azucar Great breakfast Nice pool

Pros: Bed was quite nice :) This was my first trip there from Japan with more than a day flight, but bed could release my tiredness anyway. All the staff were also kindhearted and very welcomed us. It was really nice. Obligado.

Pros: Hotel staff went out of their way for me. They gave me a free upgrade to a beachfront room and allowed me a late checkout to accommodate my evening flight back to the US. Wifi excellent. Buffet breakfast was outstanding.

Cons: They need more vegetarian offerings on their menu.

Cons: Room was small

Pros: Location. Very friendly staff. Good customer service

Pros: The most beautiful roof top in Rio. Swimming at the 16th floor and look out the entire Copacabana.The best restaurant in Rio "Alloro", the caipirinha they prepare, the champaine at the Check in, an extra table prepared for our breakfast specially for us who were lazily late.The breakfast is fantastic and the staff is very courteous.

Cons: The rugs in the room are a bit obsolete, every mattress has a spare mattress below, laying on the ground, though nonody expects an invasion of marines to share the room with. What is it good for? More fabrics, more dust.

Pros: Great location and facilities

Cons: The hotel firstly charged more than the listed rate agreed with booking.com and then they put a ‘hold’ payment on my card and then charged again meaning I have had twice the value of the stay devoted to my account with the correction still not resolved 4 days later

Pros: Location

Cons: We were not made aware of refit work on going which started all mornings at 8am with banging and grinding. Staff was unable to assist in anyway

Pros: This property is in an absolutely fantastic location and we were very lucky to have a sea view room, which was gorgeous. The staff were phenomenal, our son got very sick while we were there and we had to extend our stay by a night. Everyone knew what was happening and offered their assistance every time they saw us, one lovely gentleman even stopped us in the street when we wasn’t even working to check if our son was ok. Everyone was understanding and compassionate and fabulous. We couldn’t thank them enough.

Pros: perfect location, we ordered a room with sea view, which is magnificent!!!! the breakfast is also very good, if you want, you could eat your breakfast facing the window, which also gives a sea view of copacabana, really enjoyed it.

Pros: Location

Cons: Very old building and rooms. Almost historic building.

Cons: Hot dogs at breakfast ? It should at least be sausage or bacon
