Our stay at Santa Teresa Hotel Rio was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality, beautiful surroundings, and impeccable service. The hotel perfectly combines luxury, comfort, and the unique charm of Rio's Santa Teresa neighbourhood. The rooms were elegant, the facilities outstanding, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. A special mention must go to the breakfast team. Aroldo, Tomas, and Tony were truly fantastic every morning. Their friendliness, attentiveness, and genuine care made each breakfast a highlight of our stay. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect and always greeted us with a smile, making us feel incredibly welcome. The quality of the food, the stunning setting, and the exceptional service created an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend Santa Teresa Hotel Rio to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay in Rio de Janeiro. We can't wait to return!

This is an excellent hotel. The locality is excellent some lovely restaurants and vibrant bars. I had some concerns regarding the safety but I was pleasantly surprised. The obvious measures to prevent theft and mugging is more than sufficient. The spa was a relaxing experience. If you can make it to the Yoga session in Saturday morning, I would recommend it

Staff was fantastic, great suggestions for what to do. Was a little disappointed with my room. I thought I’d paid for a balcony but got a patio instead so not much of a view. Beautiful property, food is excellent, I would definitely stay here again. It’s a great alternative to the beach. Lots of character and charm.

This is beautiful old colonial style house that has been turned into a boutique hotel. If you want to stay away from the beach area and hotel strip, this is a wonderful stay. It is very quiet and relaxing so keep that in mind when booking. The staff was amazing and helpful. Tip: book the higher level rooms for more space and better views.

Stayed at MGallery Rio for a week for my birthday in search of a peaceful place to relax and wind down. The place is beautiful with incredible views and garden, prefect place to relax after a long hot a hectic day in Rio. Staff is great and welcoming, they were very helpful and offered to change my room as i was given a room close to entrance/frontyard which can be noisy to due to guests talking in front of it. Food and breakfast is really excellent, pool and jacuzzi were great too although the deck could be refreshed. I would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful oasis hotel

We loved this hotel. A real oasis in the hills away from the amazing hustle and bustle of downtown Rio. Wonderful staff who were very happy to help you out. A lovely restaurant where we celebrated our friend’s birthday. Wonderful balcony room with a slight view of Christ Reedemer. Loved the pool and pool bar, although the cocktail making could do with some attention, and the staff there were slow. Would come back to stay if ever in Rio again.

The property and pool are gorgeous! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The only downside was slow pool bar service. Also consider the location if you will be relying on ubers- often times drivers cancel because of the difficulty getting to the top of the hill. I will definitely recommend the hotel and stay again if I return to Rio.

Santa Teresa Hotel Rio de Janeiro was one of the highlights of my first trip to Rio. I stayed here for my birthday after spending a few nights at the Emiliano, as I wanted to experience different areas of the city, and I'm so glad I did. From the moment we arrived, the staff delivered exceptional service. Whether it was restaurant recommendations, arranging transportation, helping with luggage, or answering questions, everyone was friendly, attentive, and eager to help. The hotel also felt very secure, with staff monitoring the entrance at all times, which gave us great peace of mind. One of the standout experiences was our couples massage at Le Spa. We chose the Couple's Ritual Renewal treatment, and it was easily one of the best massages I've ever had. It was so relaxing that both my girlfriend and I fell asleep. The hotel made my birthday extra special by surprising me with a cake and decorating the mirror in our room. It was a thoughtful gesture that showed how much attention they pay to the little details. The property itself is stunning, with lush greenery throughout, beautiful rooms, a gorgeous pool, an inviting bar, and incredible views overlooking Rio. The breakfast was outstanding, with a wide variety of delicious options each morning. Overall, Santa Teresa Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The hotel, staff, food, service, and cleanliness were all 10/10. I would absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Rio.
