SANTA TERESA HOTEL RJ MGALLERY BY SOFITEL

Very nice! Book the romantic package! Nice room, bottle of champagne and a nice dinner! Recommend the breakfast not in the room but in the kitchen. Beautiful view and atmosphere both at dinner and in the morning.

Beautifully decorated boutique hotel. The swimming pool área was fantastic. Spa treatments are very high quality. love their restaurant terreze had a nice st valentin dinner. I definitely would return on another visit in Rio!

Nestled above the City of God with the distant lights flickering below this is an oasis of tranquility in a thrilling city. The dinning is exceptional and the breakfasts really worth getting out of bed for. Garçon Davi and his colleagues serve speciality St Teresa eggs next to an open window with Jasmine scenting the air. Coffee and fruits swell the table. This is the place to be and much better than the characterless mainline hotels of Copacabana and Ipanema. The wall of art opposite the hotel entrance sets the bohemian tone and coupled with the steep winding streets of the Santa Teresa neighbourhood, you feel part of the scene but also closeted in a secret hideaway.

Beautifully decorated hotel and rooms. The swimming pool área was fantastic - with sun most of the day (in mid-Winter). Very cool bar and excellent restaurant. Noise from streets and dogs barking early morning interrupted our sleep a little - but not very serious. I suggest requesting hotel to arrange transportation (taxi) - Uber not reliable for this location. Spa treatments are very high quality, although the location is below the restaurant and so a lot of thumping and chair moving noises from above.

Check-in took a few minutes and I received a room upgrade upon arrival into a junior suite and stayed for two nights. I even was greeted by the general manager herself. The boutique hotel in the art district Santa Teresa has a nice design. The stuff was friendly at every single contact. The suite was spacious with a nice bathroom including l'Occitane amenities. I enjoyed to relax at the pool area and had a few drinks and a light bite. It's a quiet place in the megacity which I was pleasently surprised of. The hotel also hosts a club/bar which seemed to be popular by locals. On the day of departure I requested a late check-out of 04:00pm which allowed me to relax and refresh because of my upcoming flight back home. I definetly would return on another visit in Rio!
