Casa Marques Santa Teresa

A serious contender for the best guesthouse in all of Rio is Casa Marques Santa Teresa. Their rooms are suites of different sizes. Some have a view of the mountains, some have an ocean view but all are brilliant comfort and value.

There are wonderful views from the property and its outdoor swimming pool that is seriously stylish. With the way the trees and vegetation fill the view it at times feels like you're in a fantastically natural and green setting. Definitely a nice contrast from the big city feeling of central Rio.

Guests can enjoy rooms with flat screen tvs, kitchen & dining areas and all who stay can enjoy a a lovely terrace to relax on. The staff speak Portuguese, English and Spanish very well and will welcome visitors from all over the world with a nice big smile. Breakfast is included with room bookings as standard.

The iconic Christ the Redeemer is only 2km away so you can be in front of one of the most famous landmarks in the world in no time at all. The international airport is only 15km away and the ocean is not too far away to be unreachable also.

Hotel Atlantico Prime

If a city centre hotel is more your thing then Hotel Atlantico Prime is for sure the choice for you. It is within walking distance of many of Rio's best tourist attractions and the property itself is fabulously good value.

All rooms have contemporary decor that you would expect in any high end hotel in the world. There is a gym to work up a sweat in, a bar to relax & unwind in and all bookings come with a very good breakfast as standard. There are lunch and dinner options in the hotel restaurant also. There are also rooms to accommodate families travelling as a larger group if needed so you should be well catered for regardless of what you are looking for from your Rio hotel.

Make friends with the staff who are able to sometimes offer discrete discounts on excursions and tours (not guaranteed but if you get one then it's a nice bonus!). They will also be able to point out some of the best places to grab a bite to eat or a nice drink if you feel like adventuring out of the hotel. The best Lapa bars are close by so you can easily get back to your room once your evening of revelling is over.

Overall the Hotel Atlantico Prime is a great option when planning to travel to Rio De Janeiro and one to book if you are wanting a city centre location and tourist attraction convenience.

Windsor Marapendi

Treat yourself to five star luxury in the upmarket Barra da Tijuca district. Staying at the Windsor Marapendi puts you on the beachfront with the waves at your doorstep. There is a rooftop pool if you want to see the incredible view but have a bit of a quieter dip than on the beach below.

The area is super safe, not too noisy in the surrounding streets and a place where you can for sure unwind and relax. The gym offers the same amazing views as the rooftop pool and is equipped with all the modern equipment you would expect.

The food is great for both breakfast and dinner and offer a wide range of international cuisine options. Bar snacks and drinks are plentiful and a tasty option when wanting something lighter.

Air conditioning is exceptionally powerful and customisable in all rooms. There are twin rooms, doubles and giant suites that cater to all budgets and they all have awesome attention to detail in the decoration, finish and service offered to all guests. You can transfer to the airport in under an hour which is longer than some transportation times but well worth it to kick back in the lovely surroundings at the Marapendi.

Arena Ipanema

Located a mere 100m from the renowned Ipanema beach, the Arena is a brilliant hotel option that provides a great mixture of contemporary amenities and comfort with the natural brilliance of one of Brazil's best beaches. The Copacabana beach is also only 500m from the property so you are spoiled for choice when it comes to the sandy delights just a stones-throw from your room.

Every guest will naturally have a cosy, comfortable room with air conditioning, flat screen TVs, free wifi and use of the hotel gym. The water pressure in the shower is strong and consistent (a big plus!) and the beds are very comfortable. All for a reasonable price!

There is a great bar on-site and rooftop views to watch the sunset from on high which is a sight to behold. The restaurant serves a mix of cuisines. As an added bonus if you are so close to the biggest and best beaches you can also jump right out of the hotel and take in a spot of surfing - book a lesson if you are a novice - you're in Brazil after all so get your surf on and enjoy the beach life at the Arena Ipanema.

Rio Othon Palace

With views of Sugarloaf Mountain, the Rio Othon Palace affords guests the chance to take in the most amazing natural views of Rio's best beaches, waves and hillsides from panoramic vantage points high up in the hotel, as well as from the rooms themselves.

The swimming pool is outstanding and open air, while the rooms are spacious and very comfortable. You can choose from regular rooms (super beds) or suites if you want an added touch of luxury. All of the rooms are a great specification though so you can book any with five star confidence. Families can request an extra bed free of charge for children up to the age of 12. The amount of beds you can fit into a room is dependent on the room size so check when booking if you travel with children and intend to request additional beds.

The main things that you want on holiday are all taken care of by friendly, attentive staff. When you check out the mixture of cuisine (both Brazilian and international dishes) ask the staff for some local food recommendations including the 'feijoada' every weekend which is a black bean stew usually served with pork (or other meat). It is delicious!

Ritz Copacabana Boutique Hotel

The Copacabana beach is a stones-throw away (80m) so if you are looking for beach walks, water sports and sun worshipping you will certainly enjoy staying at the Ritz in Rio. The name 'Ritz" evokes luxury and at times high prices but you can actually pick up a bit of a bargain staying at this hotel without losing any of the comforts you will be looking for throughout your stay.

Get your swimsuit on and dive into the outdoor pool where you can swim and take in views of the city and an ocean that stretches for as far as the eye can see.

The rooms themselves are lovely. There is air conditioning, safety deposit boxes and the usual amenities and a choice of twin or double rooms. Suites are not part of the offering so each conventional room is instead offered with a really lovely level of care and attention to detail in their design. You can also order room service and breakfast is included. That way you can fuel up before you hit the sandy shores that are a mere 3 minute walk away.

Grand Hyatt Rio

The world class service at the Grand Hyatt in Rio is truly outstanding and the rooms there are out of this world. Taking in a view of the ocean from your own private balcony in a paradise climate has to be experienced to be appreciated.

All the rooms are top notch and come with the mod cons and touches of comfort you need. You can book doubles or twins, or even one of their frankly unbelievable suites; this includes one Presidential Suite that is probably as good as it gets in Rio De Janeiro.

There are activities galore for all guests to get stuck into. Ferry rides through Marapendi Lagoon, cocktail tasting (go for the local caipirinha!), bicycle trails and spa treatments are just some of the options to choose from.

Cidade das Artes is just a few km away if you want to trek around some culture but you can stay in the hotel if you'd prefer to work up a sweat at 'home' with the high-end gym that is open 24/7.

You can also schedule welcome drinks (small charge) for when you arrive to really kick off your vacation in style. Holiday like a pro - travel and stay at the Grand Hyatt Rio today!

Belmond Copacabana Palace

Experience five star luxury in historic style by staying at the Belmond Copacabana Palace in Rio. With antique furniture in the rooms and an elegance that harks back to a period of refined history, the Copacabana Palace feels different to the other hotels in Rio.

The Pérgula restaurant hosts breakfast and offers dinners that cover Brazilian culinary staples and a huge array of seafood the are fresh and incredibly tasty.

Back in the rooms there is a renovated offering with air conditioning in all rooms, modern amenities and exquisitely comfortable beds to snuggle into. Outside once you're suitably soothed you can still take advantage of the local sands with Copacabana beachfront  just 250m away.

The rooms are pricier than other hotels nearby but you get a much more unique experience in the height of historic luxury including suites designed by French designer, Michel Jouannet.
