The breakfast was consistent with fresh tropical fruit and a good mix of continental and local elements. Highly recommended. The location was spectacular given the prices one street closer to the beach. Readily available dining options were all around and it was close to random shopping options.

Our stay at the Rio Design Hotel was the perfect accommodation for our trip to Rio De Janeiro. The location was wonderful, a mere minute walk to Copacabana beach, and the staff were incredible. We arrived very early from a 12 hour flight and were far too early to check in. Exhausted, i fell asleep in the lobby and Pedro at the reception expedited our room, which was incredibly kind and very much appreciated. Pedro was the highlight of our stay, and i would always say hello and goodbye to him and he always met me with a matching cheerful greeting and friendly smile. All of the staff were wonderful, kind and accommodating, but Pedro truly went above and beyond. There were a selection of breakfast staples and hot food which changed each day, and our room (which was a junior suite) was clean and comfortable with a huge bed and air conditioning. The rooftop has a small pool which is great for lounging, but not suited for swimming laps as it is only about 12 feet long, but regardless is a lovely place to look over the surrounding area with sun loungers. When we return to Rio, we will absolutely be staying at the Rio Design Also, if you're reading this...Hi Pedro! :)
