These awards reinforce the city’s vocation to enchant visitors with sun, culture, leisure, and memorable encounters, exactly the ideal setting for those looking for a hotel near Ipanema Beach where they can experience the best of Rio in peace.
The “Oscar of Tourism” and the strength of award-winning Rio
The importance of the World Travel Awards is recognized worldwide: rewarding destinations, hotels, and travel experiences creates a seal of excellence for the tourism sector. Therefore, being an award winner is synonymous with global recognition.
In the case of Rio, winning in the three valued categories means that the city has been recognized as:
- Best Beach Destination — top spot by the sea
- Best City Break Destination — ideal for those planning short getaways with maximum urban enjoyment
- Best Events and Festivals Destination — for its ability to host major cultural gatherings and festivals
This recognition further enhances the appeal of accommodation in Rio de Janeiro that offers comfort and proximity, such as that provided by the Ipanema Inn.
Transforming local charm into a memorable experience
In the heart of Ipanema, the Ipanema Inn harmonizes refuge with the pulse of the city. Located in the heart of the neighborhood, every detail of the hotel—from the lobby to the decor—prioritizes hospitality and Rio’s bossa nova spirit. The surroundings invite you to combine rest and comfort with making the most of the city and the neighborhood, bringing the spirit of Rio de Janeiro inside.
With 55 rooms spread over nine floors, the Ipanema Inn preserves the charm of a neighborhood hotel. Here, guests are welcomed by name and treated with kindness. This closeness is a trademark of City&Sea Hotels, the group that also owns its sister hotel, Hotel Arpoador, the closest hotel to the beach in Rio.
The rooms combine comfort and functionality with a Brazilian touch. Cotton bedding, wooden furniture designed by Brazilian designers, and Granado amenities complete the experience.
Gastronomy, sustainability, and lifestyle
The Quitéria restaurant, located on the ground floor, is a practical expression of this balance between flavor and simplicity. The menu, created by chef David Cruz, features fresh ingredients and light combinations, ideal for those seeking healthy and tasty cuisine. The artisanal breakfast, full of fruits, breads, and natural juices, is served daily and is one of the most praised in the region.
