Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Premium Design, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on a higher floor (above floor 12) to minimize potential street noise from Avenida Lúcio Costa. Consider rooms with a south-facing orientation to take advantage of morning sunlight and views of the surrounding area.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms on lower floors (1-5) as they may be more prone to street noise from the busy Avenida Lúcio Costa, and rooms near the service entrance (if it's located near the hotel's main entrance) may experience increased foot traffic noise.

🪟

Best views

Rooms on the higher floors (above floor 12) with a south-facing orientation will offer views of the surrounding area, including the ocean in the distance.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 10-18 are likely the quietest as they are higher up and away from street level.

🔊 Noise notes

Guests may experience some street noise from Avenida Lúcio Costa, particularly on lower floors. The hotel's location on a major avenue may also mean some noise from traffic and pedestrians.

Insider tips

Consider requesting a room with a floor-to-ceiling window to maximize natural light and views. If you have a car, be aware that parking may be limited in the area, so it's best to inquire about parking options at check-in.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Rio de Janeiro

Escadaria Selarón Free

💡 Go early (before 9am) to avoid crowds and get unobstructed photos. The tiles are fragile — please don't step on them. Nearby bars in Lapa have live samba for free or a small cover charge.

Morro da Urca Free

💡 The trailhead is next to Praia Vermelha. Wear sturdy shoes — it's a 30-minute climb with some loose rocks. Go late afternoon for golden light and fewer people. Bring water. No entrance fee.

Ipanema Beach Free

💡 Walk to Posto 9 for the liveliest scene, or Posto 10 for a quieter spot. Watch out for strong currents near the rocks at Arpoador. Arrive early on weekends to claim a good spot.

Museu do Amanhã

💡 Entry is R$30 (about £5). Free on Tuesdays — but arrive by 10am to avoid a queue. The building itself is worth seeing from outside, especially at sunset. Allow 1.5–2 hours.

Christ the Redeemer
Jardim Botânico
