It's a nice hotel, located just next to Rio's most trendy neighborhood, Leblon. The rooms are ok, I stayed at a double with a balcony facing the sea. Although it is strategically located, I think that it is overpriced, as most of RJ hotels are.

We stayed at Windsor Atlantica for 3 nights and Ritz Plaza for 5. Leblon beats Copacabana by far -- I would never ever stay in the tourist trap that is Copacabana. What the Ritz makes up for in location and rooms, it completely lacks in the quality of front desk staff. For a boutique, trendy hotel, you generally expect good... More

The best in this hotel is the location. Right in the heart of the Leblon, the coolest neighborhood in Rio. The lobby is very nice and looks like a boutique hotel. Unfurtunately the rooms are not like the lobby. Old beds, uncomfortable mattresses and the biggest problem, no sound isolation. I spent 2 nights there and was very hard to... More

We stayed in one of the "apartments" at the Ritz Plaza hotel for the holiday weekend Sept 7th. It was quiet, very chic, eco friendly, and excellently located for a weekend of fun in Rio. Leblon is a great neighborhood. It reminded me of Soho if New York was on one of the most beautiful beach fronts in the world.... More

I spent one night due to a business trip. The location is excellent both for business and tourist purposes. The room had a great size and was very clean. I liked the breakfast mainly because there was a lot of fruits. Reading other reviews, I can say that I had NO problem with the staff. By the contrary, they were... More

Expensive rooms with no window, poor sound isolation, unprepared staff, mediocre food service. The only positive thing is the location, but it's not enough. I was awoken in the middle of the night by a terrible loud noise, it was an electricity genarator that sounded like it was installed inside my room. But no lights or ar conditioner were provided;...

This hotel is really good ! I could stay at a suite with my husband and two kids. Only two blocks from the beach in a really safe area. I totally recomend ! The staff is nice and helpful ! The pool is small but who is going to stay at a pool in Rio ????

Ill keep this short. Rio ritz is dark, dank, smelly and uncomfortable. Breakfast is poor and the beds overpriced and the staff on the whole rather unfriendly to non israelis from my experience. The location was near Copacobana and its only redeeming feature. Avoid like the plague.

Situated on a fairly quiet street in a popular upmarket resort area of Rio, this hotel delivered comfort and facilities that were very good. The staff were very helpful and most reception staff spoke a good level of english. The rooms are clean, well-equipped and stylish, cleaned to a good standard every day. The breakfast is a generous buffet-style affair,... More
