Sofitel Rio de Janeiro Ipanema

Bom dia, Bonjour

An Ipanema icon now reborn, Sofitel Rio de Janeiro Ipanema rises above the legendary golden beach, revealing panoramic sunsets where the city meets the sea.

Inspired by Rio’s spectacular natural beauty, this prestigious address has been reimagined by renowned architect Patricia Anastassiadis as Sofitel’s flagship South American hotel.

Wake to sparkling ocean views, savor Michelin-starred cuisine, unwind beside the rooftop pool and embrace a world where French elegance meets Carioca soul.
 

“Hospitality is an art that unites cultures. The Carioca welcomes with joy, warmth, and spontaneity, while the French bring elegance, refinement, and savoir-faire. Sofitel Rio de Janeiro Ipanema was transformed to offer an inspirational and personalized experience. This flagship transformation takes place at a very positive moment for Accor’s luxury portfolio in Rio de Janeiro, reinforcing our commitment to excellence and cultural authenticity.”
