Ipanema Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro

"The Arena Ipanema is a great hotel, located three doors down from Ipanema Beach. The rooms are clean and bright, and the maid service is careful and thorough. The front-desk staff has speaks multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and of course Portuguese. The morning breakfast is plentiful, with lots of variety."

"Ótima localização, linda vista"

"Great location. We were advised in advance that the pool was in repair and we wouldn't be able to use it during our stay. Nice "globo cookies" offered on arrival at the room. Spacious room, overlooking the ocean, on the 10th floor, was a great treat. Although it wasn't the free upgrade perk from Expedia, the fee we had to pay for this upgrade was well worth it. We usually stay at this hotel and it doesn't disappoint. Breakfast is also good with a variety of fruits, breads, cakes. "

"Staff were super friendly and fun. Everyone was welcoming and did a phenomenal job of setting up activities for the days and nights. Will definitely return"

"Peaceful luxury hotel in Ipanema . Very relaxing and classy"

"I stayed at Ipanema Inn for a few nights during a solo trip to Rio and would stay again if I’m back. From check-in to assisting with booking any tours/tickets/dinner reservations Fred at the front desk was always so helpful and greeted me by name every time he was there. Fred made it so easy to plan my adventures, helped with suggestions anytime I needed, was very responsive on WhatsApp when I was out exploring Rio, and spoke great English which helped my lack of Portuguese. The rest of the staff was also great and friendly. The hotel restaurant is nicely decorated and had a delicious and varied breakfast that looked much betterhan what some other hotels in the area offered. I had the filet for dinner at the hotel one night that was perfectly cooked and the fruit tartar desert was delicious. The hotel is centrally located in Ipanema and was a quick walk to nearby restaurants, bars, beach, Arpoador/Leblon were a short ~15 min walk away, and so easy to get an Uber for anywhere else in Rio. I felt very safe walking around the hotel area alone even at night. Being able to grab a beach towel from the front desk and walk straight down the street to the beach chair/umbrella stand (included if you tell them your staying at the inn) made it so easy to enjoy a perfect beach day (although there are also some nicer looking beach clubs a short walk either direction on the beach that I’d check out too). Thanks Ipanema Inn (and Fred) for making my stay in Rio great!"
