Excellent but a bit far from Copacabana
The hotel was great, and lots of good restaurants in the area. The beach was great also, but if one wanted to do things in Copacabana or downtown it was slightly far.

Quiet Street in One of Rio’s Nicest Neighborhoods.
The hotel is one of the few hotels that are located in Leblon, which is the wealthiest of Rio’s three south beach neighborhoods (the other two being Ipanema & Copacabana). It’s short walking distance from many of Leblon’s trendy bars and restaurants, which are frequented by Rio’s professional and trendy residents. And it’s less than two blocks from the beach. The hotel itself is on the smaller side - almost a boutique. This also goes for the rooms (the walls aren’t that soundproof either). So you may not get some of the amenities you’d find in larger hotels, such as a concierge. However, it does have a small gym and pool. The service is good and the staff speaks English.
Traveller's tip on nightlife
Make sure to check out Rio’s jazz bars and samba clubs in Lapa, especially on Rua do Lavradio.

Good Hotel for Business Travelers.....only
This hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly, but for those seeking the ambience and surroundings of a vacation spot, the Promenade Palladium would not measure up. Although a pool is available, it is somewhat hidden and I never once saw a person in it. The hotel is located in the middle of a commercial block, containing both apartment buildings and businesses, and is accessed directly from the street. A number of problems existed: a blocked toilet, no English by any other than the desk staff, insufficient and overworked desk staff, little access to English TV, a terribly loud A/C motor, long waits at the front desk, etc., etc. Breakfast was adequate but not spectacular. Overall, I was not impressed.
Traveller's tip on getting the most out of your stay
One positive note: the hotel is exactly 1.5 blocks from the beach. Also, a few nice restaurants are relatively nearby.
