Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort

Besides the view, avoid at all costs. Horrible building and terrible staff. Extremely overpriced.

Hotel Arpoador
The front desk staff was very helpful. It’s in the perfect location in Rio. It’s at the Apex of Ipanema Beach and Copacabana Beach. The rooms were a bit small, but had everything that I needed. I would also recommend a room with a view. The courtyard view is facing another apartment.
