"A lovely heritage building, the Olinda has finally gotten a much-needed makeover."

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

"Set in a handsome, white building overlooking Copacabana beach, the Olinda Othon is indeed a classic."

Time Out
"Located on the Copacabana beachfront, the Othon classic has something of a boutique feel not found in many of its local competitors."

"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."

"The only thing that keeps this Rio design hotel from getting three stars is its location just off the busy Avenida N.S. de Copacabana."

"Copacabana’s only boutique hotel has a series of designer suites in a business-like, tall, narrow tower."
Rough Guide
"One of the few hotels in Rio that dares to be a bit different. Each floor has been conceived by a different Brazilian designer, with some much more successful than others."
