Golden Tulip Regente

Enjoying one of the best locations in Rio de Janeiro, overlooking the celebrated Copacabana Beach, the Golden Tulip Regente gets you close to the action in luxurious style. Occupying a modern building, it was last renovated in 2007, and today offers modern and comfortable accommodation with such contemporary essentials as high-speed internet access in every room. The interiors have more than a touch of vibrancy and cosmopolitan charm, with the lounge areas boasting Barcelona chairs, glass tables, marble floors and abstract paintings. Bedrooms are refreshingly light, uncluttered and practical, and are decorated in warm, stimulating colours. Pared-down wooden and glass furniture, and carefully chosen prints add to the sense of understated class.

All rooms have air-conditioning, high-speed internet connection, and cable television with international channels. Each room has a bathroom with a shower, and some of the rooms have views of the ocean. The Forno e Fogão restaurant offers a mixture of international and regional dishes, while the lobby bar makes a great spot to grab a refreshing drink. The hotel's well-equipped and modern fitness centre helps you get ready to join the body beautiful on the nearby beaches. For the best views of Copacabana Beach and the sparkling sea, make your way up to the roof-top swimming pool – there you can float, relax, work on your tan, and even savour an excellent 'Caipirinha' from the pool bar. And just in case Rio isn't hot enough for you, the hotel also has a sauna.

The Golden Tulip Regente Hotel is situated in front of Copacabana Beach, about 3 km from the centre of Rio de Janeiro. It is also close to the famed beaches of Ipanema and Leblon. Within easy walking distance you will find excellent shopping, restaurants, nightclubs, among other attractions. A taxi from the hotel to Rio de Janeiro International Airport takes about 50 minutes.
