Favorite Hotels in Gay Rio DeJanerio

[TotallyOz]

I am working on getting listings for gay businesses in Rio De Janeiro this week. It takes a bit of time. I would appreciate anyone making suggestions for their favorites here so I can research them and start filling out the listings area.

What are some of the gay friendly hotels (or just hotels you like and recommend) in Rio?

PS I know this is the Beer Bar (but, the Latin America forum is private and I wanted everyone to help).

I'll be staying at the Atlantico  this weekend....stayed there about a year ago and was better (nor saying much) than when we all used to stay there. 21 usd a night, allow guests back to the room with breakfast included.

The Marriott is always well reviewed, currently 90 usd a night with b'fast and taxes included.

AirBnb's are hit or miss with rules of visitors, noise or level of furnishings

A little gem in Rio is the Hotel Arpoador, situated between Copacabana and Ipanema. I believe it’s the only hotel in that area that is directly on the beach, rather than across the avenue.

Rio De Janeiro Gay and Gay Friendly Hotels

How does this look?  Did I miss any good ones?

 

1 Casa Cool Beans | Rua Laurinda Santos Lobo, 136 | (21) 2262-0552  | http://www.casacoolbeans.com/

Casa Cool Beans is a 10-room gay B&B in the hip, fun Santa Teresa neighborhood and is our top pick for accommodations in Rio. This brightly colored, beautifully decorated hotel has personalized service, a pool and sun deck that's quite the scene, free wifi, and decent food as well.

2 Sol Ipanema Hotel | Av. Vieira Souto, 320 | (55) 2125-2520 |  https://www.solipanema.com.br/

You can never go wrong with the Sol Ipanema, and this one is no exception. The rooftop pool and terrace (with a full bar) is a stunner, and they have 24-hour room service, free wifi and all the amenities you expect from this chain.

 

3 Sofitel Rio de Janeiro Copacabana | 4240 Copacabana | https://all.accor.com/hotel/8941/index.en.shtml

Yes, this Sofitel is on THAT Copacabana beach. And it being a Sofitel, you can expect outstanding service, gorgeous rooms, and an on-site spa that will recharge your batteries for another day (and night) of fun. The hotel has a private beach club area if you're not into the chaotic scene of the public beach, or spend the day at their dead-sexy pool and deck.

 

4. Atlantico Copacabana Hotel | Rua Siqueira Campos, 90 | Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro | 55 21- 2548-0011

The Atlantico Hotel is one of the mainstays of many on this site. It was very popular a few years back because of its close proximity to Point 202. It is within walking distance of the sauna. It is also an easy walk to the beach at Copacabana. There are many nice restaurants in the area and a subway station is 1 minute walk from the hotel. The rooms are a bit old and outdated and they dont seem to spend money on renovations or remodeling but if you are looking for a place right next door to Point 202, this is the place to stay.

5. JW Marriott | Avenida Atlantica, 2600, | Copacabana · Rio de Janeiro | 55-21-2545-6500 | http://www.marriott....rio-de-janeiro/

The Marriott is located directly on Copacabana Beach. It is a 5-star hotel with full staff, a rooftop pool and full service spa. The hotel is kept up to JW standards with great rooms and restaurants inside the hotel. The rooms are a bit on the small side but they are very well decorated and clean. This hotel gets high marks for service and luxury.

 

6. Hotel Arpoador - Rua Francisco Otaviano 177 Arpoador Rio de Janeiro RJ 22080-046 Brasil | https://hotelarpoador.com/

Literally on the beach and located at this idyllic junction between Ipanema and Copacabana, you will be able to enjoy the day at the beach until sunset, hang out at the local bars for an informal drink, and follow with a special dinner at some of Rio’s most delightful restaurants. All of this at a walking distance from the best of both worlds, where the city meets the sea.

Our mutual friend Joe stayed at Atlantico Copacabana last time and said he preferred the breakfast and service there compared to the Marriott, as well as convenience to 202
