Hilton Barra Rio de Janeiro

The Hilton Barra Rio de Janeiro corresponds perfectly to what we expected. After staying in another hotel a stone's throw from Copacabana beach, we moved to a less touristy area. The structure, in fact, stands within the Barra da Tijuca, a neighborhood in the Zona Oeste of Rio de Janeiro which has been fully developed only in the last three decades. Barra is well known for its natural beauties, namely its eponymous great beach, which is larger and longer than Copacabana and Ipanema, and its lakes as well as several shopping and business centers — but it is also famous for its clubs and its vibrant lifestyle. The hotel is definitely large and architecturally interesting — the interiors are better than the exteriors, though, and the area immediately around the building isn't particularly attractive, as it's modern and a bit nondescript. The main lobby boasts a beautiful and gigantic installation that makes it truly unique, as well as several works of art. The Abelardo Restaurant serves good Brazilian and international cuisine, and just outside there is a lounge area, perfect for relaxing and sipping a drink in good company on a mildly windy night. All rooms are elegant and well designed, equipped with comfortable beds, large windows that give great brightness, and modernly furnished bathrooms — moreover the generous use of boiserie makes the rooms themselves more beautiful and the stay more relaxing and satisfying. On the top floor you can appreciate an excellent view of the entire area, but above all you can enjoy the small lounge bar, the bright and equipped gym and the highlight of the hotel: a large rooftop infinity pool! The staff is just amazing: attentive and generous. A final note on the means of transport: Uber works pretty well in Rio, and the use of both the app and cabs is, among the things to take into account, certainly advisable in this metropolis so fascinating but, alas, so dangerous. Anyway, we will definitely be back in Rio...

Distance for the airport.
