Fantastic hotel and location. I recommend the hotel Arpoador to everyone going to Rio. I loved it so much I left another hotel and came back for my last night in Rio. It’s worth every penny, oceanfront and town views.

I am not sure how this hotel couldn’t get a 5 star review. The entire property was stunning and they always had everything I needed within seconds. The food was way better than most 5 star hotels, super unique dishes with lots of flavor. The team was so friendly and spoke good English. It was a perfect location and I will miss my breakfasts and lunches with the most amazing view

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Arpoador! The location is perfect, right by the beach, and the hotel makes it so easy to enjoy it—they provide bikes, beach towels, and even chairs for the sand, which was such a thoughtful touch. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of great options, and the food overall was excellent. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile, which made the experience even better. My room was comfortable and well-kept, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rio. It’s the perfect mix of comfort, great service, and beachside convenience.

Great location and food but small rooms

The hotel is very well located at the end of Ipanema beach with a restaurant that backs onto the beach. The food is very good and reasonably priced but the rooms were on the small side. Reasonable value for money given location

Perfectly located for exploring Ipanema, Leblon, and just a short stroll to Copacabana Beach. The hotel offers great amenities, including an on-site restaurant and a rooftop bar with stunning ocean and beach views. Everyone—from the concierge and front desk to the beach staff and waiters—was incredibly helpful and welcoming.
