Our stay at the Coral Penthouse was a perfect Rio experience, one of those life memories you’ll never forget. Warm sunny days on the deck and sultry, enchanting nights in a vibrant and expansive space that makes you feel like you’re living that good life you always wanted. The place was wonderful-upscale and tasteful, vibrant colors and chic décor choices. The online photos were inviting, but honestly all was much better in person. We loved the short 2 blocks walk to Copacabana beach and close proximity to the grocery-with loads of cafes and local restaurants nearby. The building is also close to the Metro station-only one block away-so very convenient. We all felt good because the neighborhood was very safe and lots of friendly Carioca on the streets. The ground level feels even more safe staffed by front desk porters 24/7. Up above, we found ourselves taken away within a rooftop paradise, quiet and elegant. I have to also give a 5 star rating to David and his staff. David is oh-so-helpful and funny, very friendly, and was great with suggestions of local flavor, transportation, tips for restaurants and fun things to do. Adriano deserves special mention-he was always ready to help with anything we needed while we were there. We loved this place! We look forward to our next visit to Rio and will most definitely return to the Coral Penthouse every time we are able to go.
