Hotel Arpoador Review
Offering a rooftop pool and a gym facility, Hotel Arpoador is located in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. This inn features spa therapy and various recreational opportunities, plus a currency exchange and a lift.
The Arpoador offers a complimentary buffet breakfast served in the restaurant. There is a snack bar on site. It also treats guests to classic cocktails. The fast food restaurant Brota is situated quite close to this hotel.
Only a 6-minute stroll from Hippie Fair Crafts Market in Rio de Janeiro, the accommodation is approximately 500 metres from Girl from Ipanema Park. General Osorio Square is just 0.6 km from the affordable hotel, and the Art Deco statue "Corcovado Christ the Redeemer" is a 10-minute ride away.
Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to Praia do Diabo, which is about a 5-minute walk away. A 10-minute drive from the historic park "Botanical Garden" is a perk for guests staying at the 4-star Hotel Arpoador.
Furnished with a writing table, some of the 46 rooms feature blackout drapes and climate control along with complimentary wireless internet and a cable flat-screen television. They are appointed with hardwood flooring, sound-proofed windows. Bathroom amenities include a separate toilet and a shower, along with comforts such as hair dryers and bath sheets. Staying at this Rio de Janeiro hotel, guests can enjoy view of the courtyard.
A tube station is also near this accommodation.
An extra charge applies to a sunbathing terrace and an outdoor pool area. The Arpoador Rio de Janeiro has access to a rocky beach featuring such amenities as outdoor chaise lounges, parasols, and plush towels.
