Hotel Praia Ipanema

Ipanema is next door to Copacabana, but with a personality all its own. Not that the twin mountains aren't an impressive sight, but the overall neighborhood makes this area feel safe and well patrolled by police. Private entities pride themselves for building and keeping Ipanema one of the most affluent areas in Rio de Janeiro. Praia Ipanema Hotel sits in the midst of this well-designed area. On any given day, people can be seen playing volleyball in the brilliant white sand. Enjoy live music shows, right in the hotel, or take a walk along the beach. Each Sunday, roads are closed to traffic, making skating and riding bikes, a popular trend.
