Hotels near Leblon, Rio de Janeiro

"Overall a nice trip, and a pretty fancy hotel for the price. I would consider it more like a 4**** hotel than a 5 star, personally. highlights: - beautiful lobby and view from our room of the mountains, beach, etc. - kind people at the desk and otherwise. very safe inside even though neighborhood is a bit sketchy at times. - great bed, windows, bathtub, etc.. - affordable as an american for level of service. - spa and rooftop restaurant are amazing. gym is great too! dealbreakers: (may stop me from booking next time) - wifi was basically broken the entire time in our room, and in the hotel at times. less than 10mbits, and no signal in most of our room. front desk said several times they'd fix but I don't think they have the ability to actually fix it. many other people had this issue as well. at a 5* hotel, this should not be happening. major issue, had to do meetings in the lobby to get it to function at all. - breakfast is *good* but definitely caters towards a local brazilian diet (very few options for vegans). as a vegetarian, I'll just say I ate a lot of eggs and cheese. but hey, that's brazil so not digging on the hotel too much on that. - elevator is incredibly busy, and there were times where it literally said ”not available” and we had to wait 5 minutes to actually use it. - there are *TONS* of families with kids in and around the pool when we went. so environment was quite loud and crazy most of the time. they do timeshares so I think mostly big families frequent the hotel. - we booked and paid extra for the *Junior Suite* (with a large living room as well as bath). the front desk gave us the *room with bath* which ended up being nice.. but is half the size, and refused to put us in the junior suite room, even after showing the reservation. this may be a Trip.com issue instead of the hotel.. but they didn't offer any compensation or flexibility for us. trip did refund us the difference in price though. overall, its a great deal for the price, and the architecture is amazing, the room is nice, good water pressure. horrible wifi and very few vegetarian options made it difficult to recommend again, but we liked our stay nonetheless."

"Exceptional staff Carlos and Juliana, as well as the breakfast waiters and cleaning staff. Very good breakfast, impeccable cleaning, comfortable room. WONDERFUL."

"I am always very well treated at this hotel, the suite has an incredible space as you can see in the photo, I highly recommend it, very well located, there is laundry, they are pet friendly and my dogs love it"

"Sol Ipanema Hotel is perfectly located right in front of Ipanema Beach, offering stunning ocean views and an unbeatable atmosphere. Comfortable rooms, excellent service, and a rooftop with one of the best sunsets in Rio. A great choice for enjoying the true spirit of Ipanema."

"It is a very nice hotel next to a beautiful beach but I do not recommend beach bars food especially 🐟 Small swimming pool on rooftop, sauna is ok"

"This is one of the best hotels that I have been to in the Rio de janerio metro area. The architecture is amazing and proof that in a tropical climate like Rio de janerio corridor can be cool without AC devices. The ground floor and away from the lobby to downstairs is very well designed. The biggest disadvantage of the hotel are the dirty chairs in the breakfast hall, balcony windows do not move as it should be, and the bath is not clean as it should be in 4 star hotel but generally speaking the hotel is very good. Recommend"

"Excellent location right on Copacabana Beach and very close to Ipanema. Excellent service, food and cleanliness."

"Absolutely incredible hotel. In the best location in Barra. Lots of comfort, incredible breakfast, but the highlight, for sure, is the extremely well-prepared professionals. Lilian, the maid on the 5th floor, did everything she could to make our pet comfortable and was extremely attentive to us. Leonardo at reception was incredibly helpful when I asked for a room change. I also highlight Anderson and Rivaldo who did everything they could to help us when we had problems with the car on the way out. The manager Fred also lent us a cable of his own so we could travel safely. In other words, a sensational team that is the hotel’s biggest differentiator!"

"The hotel is located on quiet corner, at the start of Barra da Tijuca. There aren't amenities in walking distance, but there is a cafe across the street and a couple upscale restaurants. It has a sauna on demand and a gym, but the best is the beach - guarded, good for surfing and swimming. The room was large, with enough closet space for a longer solo stay. The bed was huge, very comfy, great shower. Breakfast has a lot of fruit and pastry variety, including local options."

"The hotel is located in a prime area in Rio de Janeiro, very close to Ipanema Beach, within walking distance. From there, you can easily reach the main beaches and attractions. Reception, check-in and check-out are very easy. The rooms are clean, with comfortable beds, good quality shower amenities (shampoo, conditioner and soap), clean towels and sheets. There are amenities for purchase in the minibar (beer, chocolate, water and soft drinks). There was breakfast included (in my reservation) and there was good quality Brazilian style food, including cheese bread. The staff was very welcoming and polite. It is a very good hotel with a fair price."
