Frommer's Review

The grande dame of Rio hotels, the Glória was built in 1922 (a year before The Copacabana Palace) to provide luxury accommodations for dignitaries attending Brazil's centennial celebrations. An annex was added in the '70s in the same style, making the 630-room Glória one of Rio's largest hotels. If you can, reserve a deluxe room -- the views of the bay and the Sugarloaf are well worth it. Those rolling in cash can consider the junior suites -- located on the corners -- each of which features a large living room furnished with lovely antiques, and a spacious master bedroom with big windows overlooking some of Rio's finest scenery. A little bit smaller than the deluxe rooms, the pleasant superior and standard rooms offer garden views. All the rooms in the Annex have been completely renovated and look great, though they are not overly large. But no matter which room you get, you can indulge in the outstanding amenities: lovely gardens, the best sun deck in the city with views of the bay, marina, and Sugarloaf, two large heated swimming pools, and an outstanding fitness center.

Facilities:
4 restaurants; bar; 2 outdoor heated pools; health club; sauna; concierge; tour desk; car rental; business center; salon; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry; dry cleaning; nonsmoking floors
