Santa Teresa Hotel Rio de Janeiro MGallery Collection

This hotel is absolutely stunning and a must stay if you want a rustic 5 star experience in Santa Teresa with a beautiful view of the town. The way the rooms and hotel are done is really beautiful keeping to its historic roots but adding a luxury feel. The pool and bar area are beautiful and tranquil with an amazing view and the food is very very good (fish grill lunch menu especially). Finally the staff are extremely attentive from check in throughout the stay giving us a lovely warm welcome and tour, amazing recommendations for restaurants and being very very friendly and approachable. We have stayed at 2 other 5 star hotels during our trip and this was definitely the best in terms of quality and service. It’s also a few mins walk to the main town bit where there’s lovely cafes shops and live music. Would definitely recommend for a stay for part of a Rio trip once you’ve done the beach bit and would definitely return.

Our experience at the Santa Teresa Hotel was exceptional and the best service we've ever had in all of our travels. We cannot express our gratitude enough for making our stay so special. From the unbelievable attention to helping us with tours in advance of our stay, to the most welcoming reception at our arrival, a room perfectly appointed complete with gifts, amazing restaurant, and the most beautifully maintained property, but it is, by far, the employees at Santa Teresa Hotel that made the difference. Each and every employee was amazing but Rafaella deserves specific recognition as she is 100% the reason we selected Santa Teresa Hotel with her warm and simply delightful personality and her passion to help make our vacation one of our best ever. She is extremely detail oriented and I trusted her entirely overseas with our tour planning. It is obvious she truly cares about her guests and their well-being and we will always fondly remember her efforts. Thank you so very much! Obrigada!

I have so much to say about your hotel. The beauty of the space was remarkable. The location is like none other...but what really sets your hotel apart is the quality of the staff. We truly felt as if we were staying in the home of someone who was a great host rather than a hotel. Every member of your staff were incredibly friendly and hospitable and made us feel special. I have to name Bruno especially for always being so kind and going above and beyond. I would name the others too if I could remember their names but Anna was amazing and the long haired bearded handsome gentleman. Whoever is training or in charge or setting the culture for this hotel is doing a great job. Also, extra credit for that iced coffee 24 hours a day in the lobby. Loved every minute of our stay and we will be back.
