Beachfront hotel on Ipanema Beach with no street to cross

Location & Beach Access

Hotel Arpoador sits directly on Ipanema Beach, the only hotel in Rio without a road separating it from the sand. Guests walk from the lobby to the promenade and onto the beach in seconds. Complimentary beach service provides towels, umbrellas, and chairs, with staff like Julio and Marcio offering assistance daily.

Dining

The arp bar restaurant serves coastal cuisine by chef Lucas Lemos, focusing on fresh marine ingredients. Breakfast is served on the restaurant porch with a direct view over the Rio coastline. A menu designed by acclaimed chef Roberta Sudbrack uses local Brazilian ingredients, and the bar offers cocktails created by bar chef Waguinho.

Wellness & Activities

Yoga sessions take place Monday through Friday on the terrace overlooking the sea. The Maré Spa offers treatments including massages, a sauna, and a steam room, along with a wellness lounge for relaxation. Guests can borrow complimentary bicycles for exploring the city or join walking and bike tours organized by the hotel.

Rooms & Design

Rooms feature architecture by Thiago Bernardes, with tiled floors and a navy color scheme. Some rooms provide panoramic ocean views, and all include Nespresso machines and exclusive bathroom amenities like hairdryers and bath ropes. The hotel has non-smoking rooms and soundproofed units for a quieter stay.

A rooftop pool with a view, heated year-round, sits alongside a pool bar and sun loungers. Additional services include a 24-hour front desk, concierge, currency exchange, luggage storage, and airport shuttle arrangements.
