This is a very special place to stay. I rare find in Brazil with a design/attention to detail that is normally only available at super high-end hotels. I was hesitant about the location at first, but by the 2nd day grew to love being up above the city in a place that felt very local, having only stayed in copacabana before. And still super convenient to the beach and everything that's trendy around Ipanema. And of course, as others have mentioned, the breakfast is perfect.
