CITY GUIDE · RIO DE JANEIRO
Five beachfront hotels in Rio de Janeiro, from Copacabana and Ipanema to Barra da Tijuca.
Four of our five Rio hotels face the sand in the city's classic beach districts. Copacabana Palace, Emiliano Rio and Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana all sit on Avenida Atlântica along Copacabana Beach, which suits first-time visitors who want the famous seafront outside the door. Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro is on Avenida Vieira Souto at the eastern end of Ipanema Beach, a good choice if you prefer Ipanema's setting. Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro is in Barra da Tijuca, between the Atlantic and the Marapendi lagoon, a different part of town from Copacabana and Ipanema and better suited to a resort-style stay.
Reference rates: nightly, 2 adults in one room, before tax, across four dates a year; from about US$181 a night. Compare all Rio de Janeiro hotels with perks in one table: Rio de Janeiro reference rates.
