To experience an upscale version of Rio, in an area defined by sun-kissed mansions, tree-lined streets dotted with designer boutiques, beautiful Brazilian people and some of the world’s best bars and restaurants, there is no better place to stay than Leblon. Rich in natural beauty, the beaches complete this chic area’s image, ensuring luxurious relaxation and an exclusive ambience.
This exclusivity is continued at the Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort*****, where the friendly concierge are dedicated to making sure your every need is met, from organising tours to showing you around the hotel’s myriad facilities. With the tennis courts, swimming pools, kids club, full spa, fitness centre and other leisure activities, the hotel makes it hard for you to summon the energy to exploring the dazzling city.
Options abound when it comes to dining, from the casual snack menu in the elegant lobby cocktail bar overlooking the ocean and the Bene Restaurant where a plentiful breakfast spread is served each morning, to the trendy poolside pizzeria and cafe and family-friendly Casarão lunch time haunt. The crowning glory is Etoile, the 26th-floor restaurant where French cuisine is served with a Brazilian twist, complemented by views of the Atlantic.
After settling into your Ocean Front Room, complete with a private balcony, contemporary furnishings and mod cons, head down to the pool area which has been fully redesigned, featuring a large deck and tropical landscape, with an ocean-facing hot tub. Sit in the landscaped gardens with a classic cocktail, gazing out at the horizon flanked by majestic mountains, or head to the Shine Spa, attracting local celebrities and guests in need of pampering.
Whether you visit Rio for the breathtaking nature, sightseeing opportunities, star-studded beaches, all-night parties or just to get away from it all, you can be sure that the Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort has rightfully earned each of its five stars, and will go above and beyond to cater to your every need.
