Windsor Martinique Review

The Windsor Martinique offers excellent value in a great location, only a half-block off the Avenida Atlântica and within easy walking distance of Ipanema. The hotel consists of two side-by-side buildings that were gutted and then joined together, making for some mazelike hallways and some small rooms. On the plus side, the rooms are nearly new and the rates are affordable. The best rooms are the superior ones that look out over the street. Corner rooms ending in 13 (such as 413 and 513, and so on) even have a partial ocean view. The standard rooms look out at adjacent buildings. All are pleasantly furnished in bright colors and have comfortable beds. Nice details at this price level include the hair dryer, electronic safe, and high-speed Internet in each room. Most rooms are a tad on the small side and accommodate two people only. There's even a rooftop pool and sun deck, but with the beach only 91m (300 ft.) away you'd have to be pretty lazy not to make it out the door.

Facilities:
Restaurant; concierge; cardio equipment; rooftop pool; room service; smoke-free floors

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
