Set within a century-old mansion on a hillside, originally a coffee farm, overlooking the historic center of Rio, this stylish boutique property is surrounded by a well-tended garden, where frangipani and morning glory flourish in glorious profusion. The 44 guest accommodations vary in layout and size. Attractively furnished Superior Rooms mix traditional and contemporary elements, but the more-spacious deluxe rooms and suites with private balconies furnished with chairs designed by local artist Sergio Rodrigues are recommended. Public spaces include a dramatic and imposing two-story lobby, the lively Bar dos Descasados for light meals as well as cachaça-based cocktails, and adjacent Térèze restaurant serving contemporary French-inspired Brazilian cuisine against a backdrop of Guanabara Bay. The hotel also comprises a small day spa and a long, narrow swimming pool, suitable for laps.

Sense of place and connection to Rio’s history; stylish interior design; pretty garden.
Extremely noisy restaurant with indifferent service; lack of lounging space beside the pool.
The magnificent 1,300-square-foot Loft Suite has a stupendous 180-degree view.
