"Englishman Bob Nadkarni's inn has developed mythical status as much for its amiable raconteur owner as the monthly word-of-mouth jazz nights." Full review

"The most interesting place to stay in Rio, designed and run by the BBC’s former Rio correspondent, and famous for its jazz nights."

"Without a doubt the most original place to stay in Rio, the Maze is a home, a music venue, an art gallery and an institution tucked away at the top of a favela." Full review

"Copacabana’s only boutique hotel has a series of designer suites in a business-like, tall, narrow tower."
Rough Guide 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."
