Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Billing itself as the city’s only beachfront resort with an extensive recreational area and spa, the Sheraton Rio Hotel & Resort is set on lush, landscaped grounds above a sandy-white beach fronting the tropical South Atlantic. Flanked by towering mountains, the towering 33-story resort is located between Ipanema Beach and the trendy Barra da Tijuca residential and shopping district.
Amenity highlights: The Sheraton offers direct beach access, as well as three palm tree-shaded pools (including a children's pool) and two lighted tennis courts overlooking the ocean. Also on site are a full-service spa, fitness center, steam room, and sauna. The resort offers complimentary shuttle service to Leblon (1 km/0.5 mi), Ipanema Beach (3 km/2 mi), Copacabana Beach (6.4 km/4 mi), and Rio Sul shopping mall (9.5 km/6 mi).
Insider tip: Sunday is a great day to walk the famous Ipanema Beach and get a bit of local color. Cariocas (Rio citizens) stroll the oceanfront, hear live music from Bossa Nova to jazz, and sample local delicacies from food kiosks. The Handcrafts & Art Fair, popularly known as the "Hippie Fair," is a great place to buy a souvenir, with handmade art, Brazilian musical instruments, and more on offer.
