Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort
The staff was welcoming and accommodating. There are multiple different food options. The beach walkout was great. You can literally sit on the beach all day and staff will wait on you. Vendors are on the beach as well.

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.

Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL
Loved this hotel. It was amazing. The staff were welcoming and the hotel itself was a gem. The view, the food, the pool, and there is a beach across from the hotel. Definitely will use it again when I come back to Rio.
