The location of this hotel is fantastic. Just a block from Ipanema, and in possibly the best part of the beach. The location was SUPER safe, and was a short walk to many restaurants, bars and Leblon. The front desk staff spoke English and were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. They offered to make restaurant reservations and provided instructions on what... More

Location is key here. One block off the beach in the midst of shops and restaurants. Great area to walk around. Rooms are nice, clean and new and beds are very comfy. More

We stayed four nights at Promenade Visconti. The hotel is clean, there are employees of the hotel & front desk that speak English, the shower was great, and the location is fantastic. The only negatives I have to say about the hotel are the elevator service, the gym, the cost to use the room telephone, and the lack of safety... More

Overall, this is a good hotel, rooms are spacious and clean, bathroom was a little tired but had a good shower, free safety deposit box, free wi-fi and decent breakfast.

Ipanema for me was the best place to stay as its safe day or night and has a host of good bars and restaurants. Although Rio is expensive, for its location promenade is reasonably priced. Its a 30 sec walk to dip your... More

Obviously location is one of its main assets. Nonetheless, you will have to pay the price. The only weak spot is the fact that... More

I think this hotel is great, above all for its location. The room was very clean and comfortable and the space was more than sufficiente. The staff was great and helpful. Another great thing, the beach is just half a block away! I will return and I recommend it. More

Thank you to the staff of Promenade Visconti (specially Antonio, Victor and Fernando) for making our stay (4 families totaling 12 people from the East Coast of the US) so wonderful. Good rooms, good breakfast, excellent location and excellent staff. We'll hopefully be back for World Cup Soccer 2014! More
