A historical coffee plantation mansion, located in the most noble area of Santa Teresa – cultural and historical heart of Rio de Janeiro – the boutique hotel was restored with charm and sophistication as an exclusive reference of Brazilian Tropical Design.

Peaceful, sophisticated, well-lit, each room and suite of the Hotel Santa Teresa offers an exclusive and relaxing ambiance.

The design of each room is unique and luxurious. Some rooms offer bath tubs made of marbled cement, others designed by Studio Vitty in Corian while bathrooms are outfitted with golden slate and Ypê wood floors. Most suites have a magnificent varanda in the garden shade with the scent of jasmine, an ideal spot to enjoy a red berry caipirinha while admiring the toucans and marmosets in the palm trees. Other rooms have beautiful and unique views of Guanabara Bay, the city and the marvelous sun setting into Tijuca mountain.

In every room, art pieces by fabulous Brazilian designers; Sergio Rodrigues, Carassas, Studio Vitty, Zemog, Rock Lane, personalize the modern design and natural elements of these spaces.
