The Zona Oeste (West Zone) of Rio may be a long way from Copacabana and the Christ statue, but it has plenty of inviting options for business travelers and beach lovers alike. Hotels in the Zona Oeste of Rio de Janeiro range from off-the-beaten track guest houses such as our number one pick, Imperial Housing in Recreio, to mammoth chain hotels such as Sheraton Barra.
The largest concentrations of hotels can be found in the vast, wealthy and modern suburb of Barra da Tijuca, largely catering to the business travelers msking use of the neighborhood's convention centers.
But with a vast beach and good shopping and entertainment complexes, Barra is also a good bet for families, and there are some lovely small guest houses here, such as Pousada Casa 14.
With events such as Rock in Rio 2011 and the 2016 Olympics set to take place in this neck of the woods, Hotels in the Zona Oeste, Rio de Janeiro are set to become increasingly in demand over the coming years.
