Hotels in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

1–60 · hotels

Rio de Janeiro spreads along a coastline broken up by mountains, so where you sleep shapes your trip more than in most cities. Copacabana and Ipanema put you on the beach and within walking distance of restaurants and nightlife, while Barra da Tijuca and Centro serve very different purposes. This guide breaks down the main areas and the practical decisions worth making before you book.

Good to know

Book a hotel with a metro station nearby (Linha 1 runs through Copacabana and Ipanema) if you want to reach Centro or the Maracanã area without relying on traffic-dependent transfers.
Check whether a hotel address is on Avenida Atlântica (beachfront, generally louder, higher-priced) or one of the interior streets a few blocks back, which are quieter and usually cheaper for a comparable room.
Rio's Carnival and New Year's Eve are the two biggest surge periods for both demand and street crowds; book well ahead and expect a livelier, noisier city if your hotel is near the parade routes or Copacabana beach.
Centro empties out in the evenings and on weekends, so it's a better fit for weekday, business-focused stays than for a leisure trip centred on nightlife.
Plan for at least 4 to 5 days to cover the main sights (Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, a beach day, and Centro) without rushing, longer if you also want to see Barra or take a day trip out of the city.
If you're arriving with heavy luggage or late at night, prearrange a transfer or use a licensed taxi rank at Galeão rather than street hailing.
