Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort
La propiedad está bien estuve siete días aunque el jueves y viernes santo había muchísima gente y eso impedía conseguir reposeras pero en general el servicio los demás días muy bien

Hotel Arpoador
The front desk staff was very helpful. It’s in the perfect location in Rio. It’s at the Apex of Ipanema Beach and Copacabana Beach. The rooms were a bit small, but had everything that I needed. I would also recommend a room with a view. The courtyard view is facing another apartment.

Grand Hyatt Rio De Janeiro
Hotel is great. Lovely pools. Beach across the road from hotel is lovely. But it’s a 1 hour taxi from Copacabana beach. There is nothing else near the hotel. All hotels / apartments have gated entry.
