    • Sheraton Rio Hotel And Towers - Rio de Janeiro
    by jeffjun
    The Sheraton Rio Hotel & Towers was located in the Northwest side of Leblon on the shores of Leblon beach. Unlike most of the hotels near Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, the Sheraton Rio Hotel & Towers was located away from the busy sections of the city, giving the benefit of waking up with the sound of ocean wave instead of car noises.

    The hotel provided hourly free shuttle service to Leblon beach, Ipanema beach, Copacabana beach, and Rio Sul Shopping Center. The service was free but a reservation was required and a ticket was picked up at the Concierge desk. There was a taxi stand in front of the hotel where taxi was available 24/7.

    For bus tours, Gray Line desk was located below the lobby level and it was possible to book tours directly without paying additional fees to "a middleman".

    The hotel offered 7 different ways of dining experiences: 3 restaurants, pool snack bar, a lobby bar, room service, and preferred member lounge. 2 of the restaurants were located outdoors near the pool area serving Brazilian and Italian food. The indoor restaurant served great Brazilian barbecue. If you are a Starwood Platinum member, the hotel provides you the free access to the Towers Lounge (preferred member lounge) where you can enjoy complimentary breakfast, afternoon snacks and drinks. The lounge staff were extremely helpful and professional.

    The hotel room had a small safe, which I found it very helpful to leave all my valuables and money in it. It might not have been safe to carry all valuables and money outside the hotel. All rooms featured balconies but not all rooms faced the spectacular views of Leblon and Ipanema beaches. I recommend booking rooms with the views if possible.

    This was a wonderful place to stay because of it's location which provided access to all the known beaches as well as the relatively private beach at the base of the hotel that is shared with local cariocas and tourists. This is the only beachfront hotel in Rio that is actually ON the beach. (All others in Impanema and Copacabana are across the main roads from the beaches -- and crowded.)

    The calm waters protected by the peninsula provided a relaxing place for a swim in clear waters.

    See additional photos and comments in the Sheraton Views Travelogue!

    The buffet breakfast was unmatchable and offered comfort foods as well as local tastes.

    Rooms on the west side have this view of the hillside, flavelas, local beach homes, and on a special day, a beautiful rainbow stretching over the Atlantic ocean.

    From my hotel room: Ave
    Niemeyer, Leblon/Ipanema
    by NedHopkins
    On my five visits to Rio de Janeiro I've stayed at the Copacabana Palace and four other hotels. One of them was the Sheraton.

    It bills itself as the only hotel in Rio with a private beach. In fact, people from a nearby favela (slum) have easy access to the 'Sheraton beach,' though the hotel's security guards look after guests.

    The Sheraton is a high–rise and high–priced 'resort hotel.' Rooms are all right; many parts of the hotel are a bit worn–down.
    Its pool is large; its restaurants are good; its shops are all right.

    But the Sheraton is far from tourist sites and from Leblon, the southern–most of the main beaches — though I did trek to and from Leblon, along a dubious walkway, a couple of times.

    The views from most rooms are great. The four restaurants — Italian, churrascuria, casual — all serve excellent food.

    Service is substandard — and room–service prices are exorbitant.

    The hotel has a large workout room and several shops, including a good hairdressing salon.

    There's also a 'business' wing that's said to have special services for commercial travelers.

    This hotel is supposedly a business hotel but it has all the attributes of a resort hotel. It is not stuffed in a diesel saturated downtown area, has its own beach, the pool coming with it since we do not want any responsibility for drowned customers and the regular fare of business like restaurants with the pleasant exception of a couple of outdoor establishments for the exotically inclined.
    The myth about its relative remoteness does not really play any role. There are free buses organized by the hotel which take you to the shopping mall of RIO SUL. Taxis parked outside are also free as long as you go and visit a jewelry shop. Some might not consider this "time well spent" but if I am to judge by the scale of stone production and sales, this must be one of the attractions of Rio.

    As you can see further, my pictures illustrate what an amazing location this hotel has. Its guests, if accommodated in the right rooms can see all the Rio icons from their balcony. Visiting becomes more of a detail than a necessity. Looking at "favelahs" without the presumed danger of being robbed or shot at, staring at the Christ Statue from the comfort of your own "home” or watching the metamorphosis of Ipanema day and night are features not to be ignored when choosing a hotel.

    I actually worked here for a few hours interviewing students, and had lunch outside afterwards. Well, life's tough, but...somebody's got to do it. The surroundings are gorgeous. The only downside is that you would have to take transportation to really get anywhere. It is on the beach, and there are not any close shops and restaurants.

    The views are so amazing, and the food is good. They even have a little house for the kitties! I did not stay here, but for the atmosphere, I would certainly recommend it.

    Sheraton Rio Hotel And Towers: A beautifull place to stay    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • By supermike on April 3, 2007
    • Rio is probably the best known place in Brazil. It's beautifull, nice and warm, the people are kind and happy and it's just a great place to take a holiday. The Sheraton Hotel is situated on a hill just off the Ipanema beach. It also has a private beach for the guests of the hotel where people are selling towels, blankets and things like that.
    The beach has a large ammount of volleyball and football fields but they are not in the way or annoying, it's more of a fealing that they should be there.
    The sea is something very different to what we are used to in Holland. It's more rough because of the current so be carefull when going for a swim.
    Take a trip to look around at the beautifull nature in Rio. A jeep trip is cheep and you learn a lot from the driver about the history of Rio itself. We also saw a voodoo "gift", probably from a very angry wife meant for her husband.

    The hotel is very luxurios, the people are very helpfull in all ways.
    There is a bus stop just outside the hotel and plenty of taxi's in front of the hotel itself.
    There are several swimming pools and three restaurants with different themes to eat. You can use the tennis field or the fitness center. It is also possible to use the hotel for conferences as this happened quite often during our stay there.
    The waiters are very intelligent as one if them had leaned a few words of chinese from one of the conference recipients.
    Don't miss the jeep trip or the brazilian night. They can be booked at the hotel itself. You will be picked up and brought back with a bus.....and dont forget to tip the very enthousiastic guide.
