Hotels in Rio De Janeiro

Loud, colourful and passionate, Rio de Janeiro is enthralling. Travelling to the 'Marvellous City' cannot be described in a guide book; this city needs to be seen to be believed.

Travel to Brazil's second largest city if you want to play football on miles of sandy beach at Copacabana; drink caipirnihas whilst people watching in Ipanema and dance to local variations on samba and rumba in Centro's buzzing clubs. The chabby-chic homes of Santa Tereza district are charming and the views from Corcovado to Christo Redentor and beyond are unforgettable. The infectious hospitality of the Cariocas, turn Rio de Janeiro holidays into something spectacular.

Rio de Janeiro hotels can be a bit hit and miss so choosing the right area is essential. A cheap hotel in Rio de Janeiro can be found in Copacobana, but Botofogo has a more relaxed and less brash atmosphere. Cheap hotels in Rio de Janeiro tend to be run by local Cariocas and not international brands, but the wealth of knowledge the owners possess on this hedonistic city is worth sacrificing a free bathrobe and slippers for.

Hotels in Rio de Janeiro can also be luxurious. If you want a Rio de Janeiro hotel for pure indulgence, then head to Ipanema or Leblon, where the wealthy Rio residents go to see and be seen. Rio de Janeiro hotels in these areas tend to be a little pricier but the personal service and the stunning views more than make up for it. Whatever your budget and wherever you choose to stay, hotels in Rio de Janeiro are just places to rest your head, as you will want to spend most of your time amidst the city's streets.
