Hotel Praia Ipanema

Frommer's Review

Straddling the border between Ipanema and Leblon, the Praia Ipanema offers luxury beachfront accommodations at a less than luxury price. The hotel is within walking distance of Lagoa, the upscale shopping and restaurants of the Zona Sul, and the restaurants and bars of Leblon. All 105 units offer balconies and ocean views, a full one in the case of the 55 deluxe rooms and a partial (from the side) view for the 46 superior rooms (which, it should be noted, are actually larger than the deluxe rooms). The best rooms begin at the 10th floor and carry upwards, as the views of sand and sea get ever more spectacular. Three-day weekend specials (Fri-Sun) often include drinks, lunch or dinner and a late checkout for the same price as two regular nights.
