Visconde de Mauá Holidays from AU$1,188

I liked the accommodation is staffed throughout day and night, and that you can leave your key there if you want to so you don’t need to worry about losing it when going out partying or to the beach. Staff was kind and the area is pretty convenient between beaches in Ipanema & Copabana. They changed towels everyday which I wasn’t expecting and thought was nice.

The Orla is one of THE best places you can stay if you want to be near the beach. It is literally across from the famous Copacabana - you can walk there in a minute! Don't think you'll get a great view from your hotel window, however; there are a limited number of rooms overlooking the ocean, but the room we stayed in was still very nice, as was the hotel staff. Here's a tip - if you do stay there, which I highly recommend, get the breakfast option, because it's very good and a great way to start your day, and the waiters are very attentive and friendly.

This was one of my favorite places I have ever stayed in all of my travel experiences worldwide. Aside from the great food, incredible hospitality, comfy bed, and convenient location, the staff was warm and insightful, providing excellent guidance into safe and wonderful experiences around the city. Highly, highly recommend!

An amazing property! The staff is extremely helpful and friendly! The check-in process was fast and uncomplicated. The room was very nice! The bed was comfortable, I slept like a baby. The rooms are clean with plenty of towels. The shower is hot. My one and only complaint is a small one. The electrical outlets only works when the room key is in the slot. I didn't realize this at first, so I left my phone to charge while I went to get breakfast, only to come back an hour later with a still almost dead phone. Not a huge deal, just keep that in mind. I did discover the bathroom outlets work regardless of the key. Other than that small little detail, everything else was perfect. The view from the rooftop pool is incredible! I highly recommend staying there. You are just minutes away from everything. The neighborhood is lively and walkable. I felt perfectly safe walking around even at night. Plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants nearby. I'll be sure to stay there again on my next visit to Copacabana.

Seems they are in the process of renovating. Unfortunately that means it was quite loud too early. The room was just adequate. The breakfast was just okay. Good location tho.
