Santa Teresa Hotel Rio de Janeiro is set in one of the city’s most atmospheric hillside neighbourhoods, occupying a historic estate surrounded by tropical greenery. The hotel’s design draws on Brazilian materials, local art and the area’s bohemian character, creating a relaxed retreat above the busier rhythm of Rio. Rooms are individually styled, while the pool, gardens, spa and restaurant give the property a resort-like quality within the city. Its setting offers views, calm and easy access to Santa Teresa’s studios, restaurants and colonial streets.
