This enormous glass hotel looms out of Centro and is tall enough to offer views of Corcovado and the hills to one side and Guanabara Bay to the other, making the rooftop bar a popular spot for an evening drink. Close to 500 well maintained rooms all with chunky hardwood furnishings, there is an internet link in the rooms (not included in the price) but free wi-fi only in the lobby. Breakfast included.
