Brazilian cuisine

Location and points

Located 300 metres from Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro, the hotel is in a small grid of shady, tree-lined streets known as Arpoador, where Ipanema and Copacabana meet. The neighbourhood is named after the headland that cuts into the sea between the city's two most famous beaches, where people gather nightly to watch the sun set. General Osório square, with a metro station connecting Ipanema to Centro and Barra da Tijuca, is 0.5 km away. Museum of Tomorrow is a top attraction. Nearby landmarks include General Osorio Square (0.5 km), Museu de Favela (0.5 km), and Copacabana Fort (1.5 km). Santos Dumont Airport is the nearest airport.

Hotel services

Featured amenities include a business center, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, and dry cleaning/laundry services. Additional amenities include complimentary wireless Internet access and concierge services. The hotel offers wedding services. The hotel provides basic services such as laundry and an excellent bar/restaurant with contemporary àlacarte cuisine. Safety features include a carbon monoxide detector, a fire extinguisher, a smoke detector, a security system, and a first aid kit.

“The Samba Bossa Nova Ipanema impressed me with its location between Copacabana and Ipanema. The hotel's stylish design and the surprisingly diverse breakfast, including vegetarian options, create a memorable stay, while the staff's genuine hospitality elevates the experience.”
