“The Lapa location, near Santa Teresa, places you in the heart of Rio's vibrant street art and nightlife-though some past guests have reported feeling unsafe in the surrounding area at night. Inside, the decor blends art deco with a speakeasy vibe and on-site yoga provides a dose of wellness and with evening entertainment and a rooftop terrace, the hotel makes the most of its setting. While the included continental breakfast may leave something to be desired, the area's proximity to restaurants and bars ensures dining options abound.”
