There’s no one else who could’ve introduced me to Ipanema (and Rio overall) better than Cesar. His enthusiasm for the Marvelous City was just what I needed to hit the ground running, and with his suggestions, I looked forward to something different every day and night, just as much as I looked forward to coming back to cool down at the penthouse (including waking up to breakfast from Ana, who went above and beyond accommodating). From either the living room, or up to the pool, or up further to the rooftop bar, the view is as marvelous as the city.
