“In the heart of Lapa's vibrant nightlife, this adults-only hotel places you steps from bars and restaurants; its location opposite a police station also adds a sense of security. Inside, the rooms offer a playful, sensual atmosphere, some featuring unique touches like infinity mirrors and translucent shower doors, and practical amenities such as effective air conditioning and mini-fridges. It's a characterful and well-situated base for exploring Rio's energetic side.”
