Rio de Janeiro's luxury hotels are up there with the best in the world, and anyone lucky enough to be visiting Rio de Janeiro with a very healthy travel budget will be in for an uber-glamorous experience.
From the sleek sophistication and decadent touches of our number one pick, Ipanema's Fasano Rio, to the classic glamour of the legendary Copacabana Palace, luxury accommodation in Rio is mainly concentrated close to the city's famous beaches. However, there are some chic boutique hotels to be found in the historic hillside neighborhood of Santa Teresa, and the antique Hotel Gloria (closed for refurbishment until mid-2011)is an elegant option close to Centro.
As Rio continues to be a favourite destination among rich and famous international jetsetters, you never know who you may bump into at the hotel bar, so it pays to follow the lead of the extremely well-heeled regulars and dress to impress at all times.
