Smart, modern hotel with glorious views and an ideal location on the Copacabana beachfront.

The attractive, contemporary Porto Bay Rio International is ideally located on Copacabana’s beachfront with superb views across the coastline from the striking rooftop pool. Guestrooms are relatively spacious and most have sought-after ocean views and balconies, unusual in Rio.

Rooms without balconies have floor-to-ceiling windows and magnificent, dual-aspect views. Rooms also have air-con, cable TV, Wifi and ensuite bathrooms.

There is a 5th-floor restaurant with great beach views, plus a sauna, small gym, cafe and bar, while the highlight is undoubtedly the rooftop lounge bar and decked open-air pool area overlooking Copacabana’s golden sands.
