"For a very different hotel experience, consider spending a few nights in the quaint hilltop neighborhood of Santa Teresa."

"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."

"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."

You should still avoid the standard rooms, which are smaller and face the back of the building.

"The Olinda Rio Hotel has two main draws -- its central Copacabana location right on the beachfront, and its charming Art Deco style, particularly in common areas."
