"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."

"The flagship of the Brazilian Othon chain, this 30-story hotel is not new, and its ambience is functional rather than luxurious."
Time Out
"Unspoilt views along Copacabana and very close to Ipanema, The Othon Palace is well located to get the best of both neighbourhoods and their beaches."

ake your drink to the poolside and make the most of the view over to Sugarloaf Mountain, or head inside to the Lobby Bar where live music can be found from the afternoon.
Star Service
"Toward the Ipanema end of the Copacabana strip, this property is Othon's proud flagship."

Avoid the unrenovated units on lower floors as they suffer from traffic noise and rickety furnishings.
Rough Guide
"With almost 600 guest rooms, this is a favourite of tour groups."

"The ocean view rooms at the Rio Othon Palace offer some of the best views in the city."
