Location: The only 5-star deluxe property located in the historical district of Santa Teresa, the Hotel redefines the Rio experience. Guests at the Hotel Santa Teresa will feel in tune with Rio’s true soul as soon as they walk through the main entrance. Rather than the conventional multi-storied hotel, crammed amongst high-rise buildings, the Hotel Santa Teresa is a former colonial coffee ranch set on 4,000 square meters of grounds, abundant with tropical gardens and with stunning views of the city below, the mountain range, Guanabara Bay and Christ the Redeemer statue. While preserving its colonial façade, the rooms and suites, restaurant, lounge, pool area and spa have been recreated using natural elements which blend harmoniously with Rio’s majestic nature.

Accommodations: Spacious rooms and suites, each with a unique “postcard” view, offer complete comfort and convenience, from the ultra-thick bed mattresses, fine cotton and linen, to bathrooms outfitted with polished black slate and furniture creations by renowned contemporary Brazilian designers, to LCD TVs and complimentary WiFi.

Restaurants and Bars: Térèze Restaurant, with Eco-Chic decor, is a casual, yet sophisticated venue where guests can enjoy world cuisine created by Executive Chef Damien Montecer. At the Bar dos Descasados open-air lounge, comfortable lounge chairs and sofas rest underneath original, brick arches and offer panoramic views of Santa Teresa.

Leisure and Services: Walking through the maze of corridors laid with burnt cement floors, walls decorated with craftsmanship from Brazil’s North and Eastern regions and the permeating aroma of coffee beans is a small component of the journey which the Hotel Santa Teresa offers.
Guests can finish the day with a wellness treatment at Le Spa, where professional staff ensure body, mind and spirit are in balance, using the exclusive products of the eco-amazonian brand Natura. Everything at the Hotel Santa Teresa has been conceived and created to redefine the guest experience, never forsaking comfort and convenience and always holding true to the wealth of Brazil’s past and present, the warmth of its people and the ever-present natural wonders Rio de Janeiro is blessed with.
