The Best Hotels in Ipanema
Golden sand, upmarket fashion boutiques and glamorous fine-dining restaurants – there’s never a dull moment in this sophisticated beach area of Rio de Janeiro. We’ve rounded up some of the best hotels, all bookable with Culture Trip.
Antônio Carlos Jobim’s Girl from Ipanema isn’t the only beautiful thing to hail from this bossa nova-loving neighborhood. Read on for the best places to stay.
1. Hotel Praia Ipanema
Hotel
Every room at the bright and elegant Hotel Praia Ipanema has its own balcony so you can take in the panoramic views of Ipanema, the epic two-pronged Morro Dois Irmãos and the Christ the Redeemer statue. But the top spot is really the rooftop with its glassed-walled, infinity-edge, drop-dead-gorgeous pool. The hotel’s Golden Grass restaurant sits at sand level, where a beach service is offered across the road, with parasols and loungers provided.
2. Best Western Premier Arpoador Fashion Hotel
Hotel
This stylish Best Western has a modern and futuristic feel. The 87 pristine white rooms are adorned with haute-fashion snaps that reflect the glamour of surrounding Ipanema and Copacabana. Make use of the beach chairs, umbrellas and towels on offer and spend an afternoon unwinding at the nearby Arpoador beach, then mount the rocky Pedra do Arpoador outcrop (beers in hand) just in time for sunset.
