Location of hotel was great opposite Copacabana beach. Worried beforehand about safety but loads of police about, day and evening. Food was OK and prices mid-range. Rooftop bar and restaurant had wonderful views and were a great place to spend the evening. Have to book early though. All tours collected us from hotel which was very convenient. Our room had a side sea view - recommend paying the extra - really loved the views.

I've stayed at the hotel twice. It's a really good international style business hotel. It's not an ideal location for a tourist but if you need to be in the Barra area it's perfect. As others have mentioned, the staff are exceptional. Gustavo at reception was really friendly not going through the motions. The only negative point is the sun loungers on the roof always seem to be in the shade.

Our stay at the Hilton was just amazing!!! The concierge / guest assistente did so much for us! se arrived too early, they could anticipate the check in as they had a free bedroom available at the moment even if it was weekend! Wow!and the breakfast was just amazing,the rooftop bar is just wow, the view…omg the caipirinhas, the food!! The staff is so Nice!!! We just loved it! Everytime we get Back to rio we Will come back there!

During my first visit to Rio de Janeiro, I had a great time. The hotel was located right beside Copacabana Beach, which allowed me to enjoy the breathtaking views while also making it convenient to explore the city. The check-in process was quick and easy. I was grateful for the printout that the hotel provided, which included information about various activities and their timings. It was especially helpful as I was feeling tired and sleepy after a long flight. I had a beautiful view of the sea and city, which was amazing. I shared some landscape photos I took from the comfort of my room. My room was equipped with all the necessary amenities, and the bed was very comfortable. However, I wish they had provided an extra blanket because there were a few cold and wet nights and mornings. I appreciated the blackout curtains that helped me sleep peacefully and calmly. The laundry service was efficient and completed my request in good time. There is a gym available 24/7 on the top floor of the building. You can reach it by taking the lift and climbing one floor up. The gym is equipped with the basics and there is no attendant present, so you will need to have your own workout routines. They provide towels and a drinking water faucet, so don't forget to carry your own water bottle and supplies to sanitize the machines before and after use. Although I didn't have the chance to swim, there is a pool located on the same floor as the restaurant. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to check out their spa either. The breakfast buffet was delightful, and I appreciated the effort they put into offering a variety of options each day. While I do not personally eat eggs, the egg station queues got super long. It might be worth considering how to minimize wait times for guests during peak hours. Also for me the coffee and tea were not up to par. I struggle with places that serve mass-produced, burnt coffee and only offer tepid water and an English breakfast tea bag. As a Kenyan, this was particularly disappointing. My solution for a caffeine fix was to request for a machine-made cappuccino instead. I even made a mental note to bring my own tea and coffee supplies and a French press on my next business trip because it was that bad. The lunch buffet was good, but it felt a bit repetitive after a few days. Additionally, on busy days, it was difficult to find an available table. Despite these issues, there were some fantastic highlights. I absolutely loved the fruit platters. The fruit in Brazil, whether it was papaya or watermelon, tasted amazing. My highest compliments, however, go to the team who prepared the snacks during conference breaks and the desserts. They brought out lovely and delicious treats every day. The hotel's location is perfect for foodies as it offers a variety of food options nearby. Additionally, there is a craft market along the beach strip in the evenings where you can buy local souvenirs and gift items. During my stay, the concierge was extremely helpful in organizing tourist excursions despite my limited time. He even sold me the tickets, printed them and gave me directions, which made my life so much easier. All the staff were professional and friendly during my stay. Although security seemed to be a big issue, I felt comfortable with the team who kept guard. All in all, I enjoyed my stay.

What a spectacular experience! The engineering department assisted me with my laptop plug- there was no option but to cut off the head of the plug! They made a plan and they made a plan!!!!!!!!! Thank u for being so accommodating!!!!!!!!!!!
