Hot, colorful, and rich with culture, Rio de Janeiro (or “Rio” for short) is one of the world’s most exciting and sought-after destinations in the Southern Hemisphere. With its many beaches, Copacabana, Carnival celebration, the world-famous Christ the Redeemer statue, and not to mention a warm, tropical climate, Rio draws visitors from all over the world seeking rest, relaxation, and a whole lot of partying. With over 1,500 hotels ranging from backpacker hostels to opulent 5-star resorts, Rio is always ready to accommodate and show you a good time.
Hotels in Rio de Janeiro
If you’re seeking trusted brands like Sheraton, Marriott, Hilton, or Grand Hyatt, they’re all here, and they’re all equipped with the first-rate service and amenities you’d expect. But for a more local experience, try some of Rio’s other excellent luxury choices. Most popular is the classic and historic Copacabana Palace, where the likes of Janis Joplin and Marilyn Monroe have walked the halls. Set right on the most popular beach in town and appropriately lavish, the Copacabana will welcome you with a smile, hospitality -- and chocolate truffles. Other great options include the chic and trendy Fasano Hotel, and Hotel Santa Teresa, a tropical Bohemian accommodation built on a former coffee plantation.
There is a wealth of trendy hotels in Rio de Janeiro as well, often incorporating the hottest parts of town for vibrant nightlife and culture. The Caesar Park Rio and Marina Palace Hotel (with a superb restaurant that serves top-notch cuisine and wine until midnight) are both near the uber popular Ipanema and Leblon beaches. Likewise, the Golden Tulip, set in the heart of Rio’s south zone, is convenient to Ipanema and Copacabana.
The city is also a hotspot for backpackers, students, and youth on a budget. With plenty of hostels and guesthouses, it can be hard to decide: try Ipanema Inn or the Beach House; both will provide a front door to the hippest part of town at a budget price. Che Lagarto Copacabana is the largest hostel in the city, with a rooftop bar and jacuzzi; while the Mango Tree, though firmly in the center of all the Ipanema flashiness, offers a mellow vibe and plenty of “chillout” space.
Attractions & Environs
Sun, sand, and surf: Rio’s best attractions are free, with its miles of beaches, warm tropical sunshine, waving palm trees, and “wicked waves.” But the city is also rich with history, culture, and plenty of non-beach-related nightlife, as well. Trek up Corcovado Mountain to touch Christ the Redeemer and enjoy spectacular aerial views of the city. Take a funicular up Sugar Loaf Mountain and buy coconuts and cocktails as you take in Guanabara Bay (make sure it’s a clear day, or the view will be nonexistent). And if you’re in Rio in February or March, you may just get the chance to join Carnival, the biggest all-night celebration in the world, packed with sequin-costumed samba-dancing locals and visitors alike.
If you need to take it down a few notches, join the locals at the botanical garden or Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, where you can bike, stroll, or picnic by the lagoon’s waters. And don’t miss the Carioca Aqueduct, constructed in the mid-18th century. While the many hip, trendy beach hotels are convenient to all of these attractions, the colonial style Casa Beleza inn is hidden away in beautiful Santa Teresa, a trade-in of beach views for culture and value.
