Average hotel in Ipanema
Good location but poor customer service, they gave me one of the worst room they have on the first floor; the staff attitude is ok but not friendly. Breakfast was good.

A great hotel, on Ipanema Beach.
The Arena Ipanema is a great hotel, located three doors down from Ipanema Beach. The rooms are clean and bright, and the maid service is careful and thorough. The front-desk staff has speaks multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and of course Portuguese. The morning breakfast is plentiful, with lots of variety.

Just behind Ipanema beach and Aproador rocks. Very short walk to Copacabana beach. Couldn’t have been better located. They take security of guests very seriously and you can opt in to use facial recognition to access the hotel at night.

I was just in Rio for three days. This hotel is appropriately priced. Staff are friendly. The weight room/Jim is minimalist. The food is good. Hotel is very convenient for getting around Ipanema and Copacabana beaches

Perfectly located, so close to Ipanema beach and short distance to Copacabana beach. Clean, modern, great included breakfast. Nice roofdeck with small pool and bar/restaurant…and amazing views of the beach and mountains. Lovely spot to chill in late afternoon and enjoy sunset and a cocktail. Efficient, friendly, helpful service throughout. Short walk into town for shopping, restos and farmer’s markets. Price was very reasonable. Will definitely stay there again.
