Everest Rio Hotel

Set in Ipanema, a vibrant neighborhood in the southern region of Rio de Janeiro, Everest Rio Hotel is an ideal base for exploring the city's fabulous surroundings. From the picturesque Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon to the Dois Irmãos Hill, the area itself is a mecca for sightseers. The hotel's homey feel starts at the front door and continues throughout its comfortable guestrooms with cozy color tones and comfortable furniture in wood and natural materials. The hotel has many wondeful sea and beach views from the communal areas, relax on the terrace amongst plants and wooden furniture, or chill by the pool and meditate on the blue horizon of sea. If you're keen to head to the beach right away, you can walk along a 4-kilometer mosaic sidewalk that meets the Ipanema and Leblon beaches' sparkling white sands.

With their light shades and wood furnishings, the hotel's cozy rooms each have a contemporary feel. All 156 of them are equipped with cable TVs, wireless internet access, and direct phones, helping you stay connected with friends and relatives. The swimming pool, located on the terrace, offers a panoramic view of the city that encompasses a sandy stretch of exquisite beaches. Everest Rio Hotel also offers a fine range of gastronomical options. Sample a salad at the 'Grill 360° Restaurant,' open from 10 AM to midnight, or try mouth-watering Japanese food at 'Dombri EDO.' Next to the swimming pool, on the 23rd floor, the pool bar serves sandwiches and light snacks. There you can also grab a cocktail and switch off after taking a relaxing swim in the evening.

The Everest Rio Hotel is located in Ipanema, just one block from the beach. Walk along the patterned 4-kilometer sidewalk and you'll find a host of kiosks selling coconut water, snacks and sodas. The hotel provides easy access to and from the downtown area, as well as key interest points like Shopping da Gávea and Tijuca National Park. Further, it is just 25 minutes, or 19 kilometers, from Rio de Janeiro International Airport.
