Hotel Arpoador
Sun-worshippers listen up. Hotel Arpoador is on the border
between Ipanema and Copacabana, making it the perfect launchpad to
both of Rio’s world-famous stretches of coastline and their
accompanying beach bars. Not that visitors will be wanting for
watering holes; Lapa, the city’s disused aqueduct turned bohemian
hangout, is a five-minute stroll from the hotel.
