Hotel Arpoador Inn has built a tradition of associating a top location to a friendly atmosphere and very reasonable rates since it opened its doors in 1974. This charming inn has 50 rooms distributed along 6 floors. All rooms have front-desk controlled air-conditioning and are furnished with a two door closet with private safety box, a set of twin beds or a double bed (please specify), color TV with cable channels, and a small refrigerator. Bathrooms are compact and clean. A delicious self-serve breakfast buffet is served until 10:30 at the restaurant on the ground floor, street level to the beach. It can also be served in your room for a small charge (until noon). The hotel has a facade overlooking Rua Francisco Bhering - the coconut tree lined street along Arpoador Beach. This street is open for pedestrians and residents only. Deluxe rooms are on this side of the buildingand have been redecorated on July 2000, and the main attraction is the postcard view to the beaches of Arpoador, Ipanema and Leblon! Open your window at night and go to sleep to the gentle sound of surf breaking! Deluxe rooms are a bigger than standard apartments, and have roomier three-door closets. There are superior rooms on the other side of the building, facing Rua Francisco Otaviano. They have a side view to the beach, Standard rooms are a real bargain, and should always be booked a few months ahead. When you book 6 or more rooms you may ask for special group discounts. Hotel Arpoador Inn is the only hotel in Rio overlooking Arpoador Beach, the scenic stretch of sand East side of Ipanema Beach.

The Staff is Top Notch

This hotel is on the beach in Impenema. Our room was small and had no view, but it was clean and reasonable in price. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We had a complicated day of travel ahead and were not really sure how to go about catching our bus and ferry. The staff had maps, schedules and were very knowledgeable. They really made us feel welcome and comfortable. I would recommend this hotel to a friend.

The restaurant on the beach in front of the hotel has wonderful food and a great dining experience. A perfect spot to watch the sunset.

nice beach hotel

If you want a hotel right on the arpoador beach (the east end of ipanema beach), have breakfast looking at two brothers, and you are okay to walk 10-15 minutes to the center of ipanema, then this hotel is your best choice. If you want to go out and immediately join the crowd in ipanema, then you would be better off to get a hotel in the ipanema area.

Hidden charges

Hotel Location is great, but rooms facing the main street have windows which can't isolate street noise. Doubt i will ever stay there again.Additionally,at check out hotel comes up with a 10% hotel service charge, i.e, gratuity. i was able to negotiate only 5% but in reality they did not deserve it.[...]

very good; then strange

wonderfully situated right on the beach; small but clean rooms. however, when checking out a request (handwritten on the bill) for an approximately 10% "service tax". when pressed, the front desk said it was a discretionary tip. we did not honor what seemed to be an attempt to extract additional cash.

Perfect Location at a Great Price

Guide Books reported the Aproador Hotel as a moderate priced hotel in a good location and that is absolutely the truth -- except to say that it is a GREAT LOCATION...right between Copacabana and Impanema Beaches...close to many of the attractions of Rio. Rooms were very basic but clean and hotel had great service -- English at the front desk too.

There are many "kilo" restaurants in the area and the street vendors have great safe and tasty food. The hotel restaurant is overpriced and I don't recommend it other than for the included breakfast which is very good.
