Grand Hyatt Rio De Janeiro

First time staying here at the grand Hyatt rio and it was a great experience. Very tidy and quiet section of the beach away from the crowded areas further down. It was a bit out of the way so expect to pay a bit more to see the sight around rio by uber or taxi, a lot of tours don’t come to this hotel either it seems. When you come get access to the grand club at the top floor, great experience here, Alex at the grand club is great, really feels like he cares and goes above and beyond to make your experience here amazing. He deserves recognition really embodying what I would expect from this type of place. The food and drinks available here are excellent as are the amenities. I’m definitely coming back the next time I’m in rio.

We had an unforgettable stay in a Suite! The spacious apartment was impeccably clean, beautifully designed, and thoughtfully equipped down to the smallest detail. The club system was a true highlight for those who appreciate comfort: private check-in, exclusive lounge with drinks and snacks, and personalized service. The Japanese restaurant on-site deserves special praise. Exquisite dishes prepared with authentic techniques, the freshest seafood, and flawless service created an atmosphere of true Japan. The only downside is that it’s located far from the city center. However, even that turned out to be a plus — peace, quiet, and serenity far from the hustle and bustle. We will definitely return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a premium getaway and exceptional Japanese cuisine!

Excellent property located right across from Barra da Tijuca beach, with restaurants and a pharmacy nearby. Good to know: Just outside the hotel, you’ll find a beachfront running path—8 km out and 8 km back. The hotel also offers a boat tour through the surrounding nature reserve, available only on Tuesdays and Saturdays and requiring advance booking. The Lounge is a great option, offering both breakfast and a variety of snacks and dinner dishes. Although the hotel faces the beach and offers beach service, swimming wasn’t possible during our stay due to constant red flags. So while beach access exists, this doesn’t quite feel like a true beach hotel in practice. What could be improved: There’s a noticeable lack of clear communication between hotel departments. Throughout our stay, we had to follow up multiple times with housekeeping and reception for additional services, even though we always went through the front desk. We mentioned this to the manager, Raquel, who was very kind and supportive, but the system overall could be more efficient to deliver a seamless guest experience. The quality of alcoholic drinks and cocktails in the Lounge was not on par with those at the main bar—something that should be addressed. Having a bartender assigned to the Lounge might solve this. Also, the coffee machines—both in the Lounge and the main breakfast area—looked modern but produced weak coffee and were difficult to use. It might be worth considering a barista during breakfast hours. What stood out: The breakfast was exceptional in both variety and quality. Everything tasted delicious, and the kitchen staff were incredibly friendly. A special thanks to Chef Patricia, who treated us like friends m. She not only kept the buffet well-stocked and organized but also greeted us warmly every day, radiating positive energy.
