When we entered the hotel, I was immediately impressed by its impeccable cleanliness and modern design. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Ipanema is conveniently located just a short walk from the beach, shops, and restaurants.
Can see Cris de Redeemer from the rooftop.

The hotel is well located, albeit beside an alley road that takes you to the Arpoador beach - not the top destination if you are in Rio. The vast large display of police and military police on the ground, helicopters and policemen in patrol cars and bikes

Arena Ipanema is an excellent choice for a hotel stay. Nice clean rooms. Included breakfast is a nice bonus. Great location, quick walk to Ipanema Beach, a lot of restaurants nearby. Staff was very nice from check in to check out (including housekeeping). They were quick to address the sudden loud noise coming from guests upstairs. The young lady at the front desk always had a genuine ready smile whenever we passed by. Shout out to David Santos who would stay with us outside and chatted as we waited for Uber. You can tell he genuinely loved interacting with the hotel guests. We highly recommend this hotel.

5/5 would absolutely stay here again. The hotel is super nice and not too $$. Rooftop is very cool. Cute little pool with some tables to sit. Location is 10/10... legit right on the beach Arpoador. Security - very safe. They are super strict after 11pm... have to show your face to a camera to unlock the door and any visitors not on the reservation have to check in at front desk and show ID/passport. Room - very nice and modern. Clean, nice showers. Front desk was very helpful with activities such as helicopter tour and how to get to sugarloaf and christ. Breakfast was delicious and nice buffet. I am staying here next Rio visit, no doubt!!
