Leblon, Rio de Janeiro
Experiencing Rio de Janeiro with sophisticated simplicity. Located in the most expensive neighborhood in the city, this boutique hotel sports modern, minimalist architecture that lets its Brazilian character flow in the comfy environments. The restaurant-bar Cedilha delicately transposes caiçara cuisine to the big city. In the visitors’ experiences – such as beachside workouts, late afternoon samba, walks on the boardwalk or browsing the pleasant shops in the streets of Leblon – everything evokes the Carioca soul. With a foundation of sustainability, the hotel employs solar panels to supply part of its electricity and uses ingredients from small-scale local producers. Recently, it also adopted a dune on the beach to collaborate in the recovery of the original coastal vegetation by replanting and maintaining native species. In return, nature offers privileged views of the sea, the islands and the Tijuca Forest, all under the blessings of Christ the Redeemer. Visual poetry in perfect synergy with the effervescence of the capital city.
