This comfortable hotel with all modern conveniences including wireless Internet access is situated on Barra Da Tijuca beach backed onto a picturesque lagoon. Shopping centers are 5-10 minutes drive away. Barra beach is a relatively safe area compared to the rest of Rio and there is seemingly no trouble even walking at night along the beach. This is quieter area populated by middle and upper class Brazilians, however on weekends the 12km long beach is transformed with locals and a hype of activity not seen on weekdays.
- Restaurant Tip : The beach opposite the hotel contains numerous cheap local cafes/takeaways in which to sample local food.
