Easily the nicest and most elegant hotel in town, located across the street from Ipanema Beach. The lobby has framed love letters from celebs like Gisele and Sting gushing about their stays. Rooms are spacious and quiet, with mid-century modern decor. Fasano al Mare, the elegant, bright, and airy Italian seafood restaurant on the ground floor, is also where the hotel serves breakfast. Baretto-Londra, the English-styled nightclub and bar, is open to the public and can get rowdy. The rooftop pool and bar are quite a scene, but it doesn't get too out of hand because it's for guests only.
