Guest reviews Sofitel Rio De Janeiro Ipanema

by LightColumns Washington DC, District of Columbia

An excellent choice for oceanside Rio

We did a lot of research before choosing this hotel. It is right on the beach, has excellent service, and great food. The location of the hotel is perfect - countless exellent restaurants in walking distance. Rooms with an ocean view are worth it. Our rooms were literally like haning over the ocean. We loved watching like on Ipanema Beach from sunrise to shut down in the wee hours. Would definitely choose this hotel again. There are dozens of choices. This is a gem.

Wonderful location, superb service

Had a wonderful time here in April 2019. Service was superb, especially from Pedro, the Guest Relations Coordinator. Who else would go out of their way to help me purchase some football jerseys for some friends? Pedro, a true amigo and football fan. The Caipirinhas upstairs were as expected, of Brazilian quality, that is very good. Great views and food. Downstairs you will have all the help you require for tours and transport. Some great memories! Sadly I believe it has shut now???

Superbe ! Fantastic view of Copacabana from the front see view room!

Beautiful room, Large and functional. Nice Break Fast. 2 nice swimming pools. Excellent staff in General. Some issues with SPA $ Massage (not good as usual for a 5 star hotel). A special thanks to Wesley and Edecir for their attention and nice spirit!. See you soon RIO!

Great stay...

I've stayed at the Sofitel several times over the years. Perfect location in Rio de Janeiro. Across from the world famous, Ipanema beach! Located in one of the best neighborhoods of Rio. Ipanema has many more high-end options as far as dining, shopping and places to visit than it's neighbor, Copacabana. The staff at the Sofitel is great as well!

Great location, great hotel

The staff were amazing. The location is perfect. There are chairs on the beach and hotel staff to watch your things if you step away or go into the water. I highly recommend this hotel. There are great restaurants and shops right in the area. I felt this was a safe area too, as I traveled with my family.
