"A colonial-style house in the leafy hillside district of Santa Teresa provides the backdrop for Mama Ruisa, a design-minded B&B that offers personalized service."
DK Eyewitness
"A charming, understated boutique hotel in a converted 18th-century mansion house in Santa Teresa. Each room is named after a different French cultural icon."
Time Out
"Another beautifully-restored Santa Teresa mansion, this time courtesy of Frenchman Jean-Michel Ruis who keeps a hands-on approach to the running of the hotel and the comfort of his guests."

"The spot where beachfront luxury in Rio began way back in the Jazz age, the 86-year-old Palace is still the place to splurge."

"Copacabana’s most plush hotel features ocean view suites that have housed princes, presidents, and visiting film stars."

"Anyone who’s anyone has stayed in this gloriously maintained Art Deco landmark, which, despite Copacabana’s general decline, remains a great experience."

"The hotel's neoclassical facade is beautifully maintained and remains a glimmering white. Inside you can find one of the city's largest and most attractive swimming pools."
