Sofitel Rio de Janeiro Ipanema (under renovation)

This is one the best hotels in Rio. The location is almost at the end of the coastline Ipanema, close to top restaurants, shopping centers and the beach. The area is safer than other parts of rio and it is a real 5-star hotel to stay. Breakfast is perfect, staff is good and the lobby is spacious. There is also a small swimming pool and spa which is good.

Great service by Helal he is very helpful person and he take care our room very well and clean is perfect hotel is wonderful from our room to view awesome highly recommended sofitel we come back next year good testing food thanks to housekeeping Helal one again

We did a lot of research before choosing this hotel. It is right on the beach, has excellent service, and great food. The location of the hotel is perfect - countless exellent restaurants in walking distance. Rooms with an ocean view are worth it. Our rooms were literally like haning over the ocean. We loved watching like on Ipanema Beach from sunrise to shut down in the wee hours. Would definitely choose this hotel again. There are dozens of choices. This is a gem.

Had a wonderful time here in April 2019. Service was superb, especially from Pedro, the Guest Relations Coordinator. Who else would go out of their way to help me purchase some football jerseys for some friends? Pedro, a true amigo and football fan. The Caipirinhas upstairs were as expected, of Brazilian quality, that is very good. Great views and food. Downstairs you will have all the help you require for tours and transport. Some great memories! Sadly I believe it has shut now???

Beautiful room, Large and functional. Nice Break Fast. 2 nice swimming pools. Excellent staff in General. Some issues with SPA $ Massage (not good as usual for a 5 star hotel). A special thanks to Wesley and Edecir for their attention and nice spirit!. See you soon RIO!
