A great hotel, on Ipanema Beach.
The Arena Ipanema is a great hotel, located three doors down from Ipanema Beach. The rooms are clean and bright, and the maid service is careful and thorough. The front-desk staff has speaks multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and of course Portuguese. The morning breakfast is plentiful, with lots of variety.

Perfectly located, so close to Ipanema beach and short distance to Copacabana beach. Clean, modern, great included breakfast. Nice roofdeck with small pool and bar/restaurant…and amazing views of the beach and mountains. Lovely spot to chill in late afternoon and enjoy sunset and a cocktail. Efficient, friendly, helpful service throughout. Short walk into town for shopping, restos and farmer’s markets. Price was very reasonable. Will definitely stay there again.

Good hotel but kept losing electricity in the room
Had an awful experience with my power going out in the room. I called the front desk and they sent the maintenance person to fix it to only happen 3 more times. Got pretty frustrated as every few hours would lose power. The hotel was good other than having a room that constantly lost power and them not fixing it.
