Rio is generally very expensive for hotels, particularly Ipenema. Travel guides will tell you Copacabana is not so safe and therefore I chose Ipanema (the beach is better too). The hotel is basic 3* small lobby with has a very small breakfast area (free breakfast is quite good) which becomes the bar in evenings (though you would never stay in... More

Promenade Visconti is really well located in Ipanema, one block from the beach and one block from Praça Nossa Senhora da Paz, a square surrounded by bars and restaurants - although the square is currently under works, for the building of a subway station, and its lovely trees were removed. This is the main asset of the hotel, but as... More

Very good hotel, very nice staff (except the guys in the breakfast that are not too smily...). The rooms are clean and nice. Reception people are helpful and the hotel is well located and close to a lot of restaurants, bars, shops, beach. A really really good 3 stars hotel!

This is a very nice small hotel just a block from the beach. After staying around the corner at Caesar Park we decided to move and lost the ocean view but gained a much larger room(suite) and breakfast. At breakfast we asked for bananas, but they told us they ran out. Five minutes later they had bananas, they sent someone... More

This is a pleasant hotel very well located in Ipanema. The service was excellent, the room was spacious and clean, the breakfast is decent, and the Internet connection worked well. The only issue was that my room's balcony faced a back street which was a bit noisy at nights as there's a bar right in front of the hotel on... More

I stayed at this hotel suite for 3 nights with my husband and kid (2yrs old). The upside is its location, because there are great attractions in walking distance, such as ipanema and leblon beaches, Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, Forte de Copacabana, Arpoador. Besides the neighborhood is perfect to find good restaurants (cheap or fancy/expensives). I recommend the bar Bathodomeu,... More

My husband and I recently traveled to Rio for a 5-night stay to attend a friend's wedding. I was 13 weeks pregnant at the time and worried about accommodations, etc. We were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the Visconti is, and by what an incredible location it has. Our room was ample size, clean, and quiet. The bathroom had a... More

This is a great hotel for those who want to stay near Ipanema Beach. The hotel is a block from the beach and an easy walk from great restaurants and shopping. No need to bring beach towels, as the hotel will provide them for free. The staff at the front desk spoke English, which was helpful with our limited knowledge... More

Overall, I'd say the hotel is top notch - as far as being well renovated and clean. It does have the feel of a business hotel so don't go there looking for a hip pool scene. The breakfast offering is fantastic! My only peeve was that I asked for a non smoking room on the quiet side of the building... More
