Hotel Arpoador

This is an excellent boutique hotel. The rooms were clean, the hotel is very well situated on the beach in a quiet area of Ipanema. The included breakfast was excellent but what made this Joel stand out were the workers. Ana Paola our breakfast waitress could not do enough for us. She was so sweet. Rodrigo the bartender ion the rooftop bar made the best caipirinhas was so helpful explaining the city to us he made us feel like family. Toth our diner waiter was awesome. He catered to every need. Bruno at reception could not be nicer. Also very helpful. In general everyone was nice but the ones mentioned made our stay extra special. We thank them for their hospitality and making us feel so at home and welcome in Rio. Our first visit and surely not our last.
