Rio de Janeiro accommodations

Rio de Janeiro accommodations invite you to a destination nicknamed “Marvelous City”.  Known for its mountaintop statue, crescent beaches, shopping malls, museums, theaters, rainforest trails, parks, peaks, waterfalls, football, Carnival and bossa nova samba music, Rio de Janeiro is located on Brazil’s southeastern coast, about a 6-hour drive northeasterly from São Paulo. The city’s coastline runs east-to-west. Surrounded by natural beauty, Rio is set near Guanabara Bay (immediate east), The Ilhas Cagarras – Cagarras Islands (immediate south) and Tijuca National Park (immediate west). Apart from being a major Brazilian seaside city, Rio de Janeiro is also its own State, or federative unit. Argentina’s border is about 900 miles southwesterly.

Good to know is that Uber rideshare does operate in Rio de Janeiro. The Rio de Janeiro Metro is the city’s rapid transit system. Rio professional football clubs are Flamengo, Fluminense, Botafogo and Vasco. Marvelous City is 2-hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. Although basic English is widely understood in tourist areas, learning some Portuguese beforehand would of course be helpful. Aside from the popular Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, there are also several outstanding smaller beaches along the city’s coastline. Of course the city’s major event is Carnival, which hosts around 2 million people per day. At Carnival, Rio’s best samba schools compete, with the top six schools earning a share of box office revenue, and the lowest-scoring schools being relegated to the second division. Carnival competitors are judged based on costumes, song, drumming and execution. Apart from Carnival’s main venue, the Sambadrome, the event takes place at additional locations to include Westbourne Park Tube Station, Westbourne Park Road, Cheapstow Road, Westbourne Grove, Ladbroke and Kensal. In Rio, be sure to avoid favelas, or slums, as they are subject to gang control, armed confrontations and unpredictable police operations. Rio’s most dangerous favelas are Rocinha (3 miles west of Ipanema), Jacarezinho (North Zone – 2.75 miles west of Estádio São Januário), Complexo do Alemão (north of Jacarezinho), Complexo da Maré (North Zone –  north entrance section to Rio-Niterói Bridge), Cidade de Deus (Southwest Zone), Mangueira (centered on Mangueira hill) and Morro da Providência (near downtown). Beaches, both on the sand and in the water, should be avoided at night. Daytime beaches are of course perfectly fine, though keep in mind that you may be approached by people trying to sell things. At beaches especially you should not carry large amounts of cash and keep valuable items such as cameras / smartphones concealed. Rio’s currency is the Brazilian Real, cars travel on the right-hand side and the drinking age is 18 years old. Apart from Carnival, Rio top events include Rio International Film Festival, Rio Music Carnival, Rock in Rio, Rock The Mountain, Festa Junina, Rio Gastronomia, Copa Rio (state cup) and South Atlantic Race. Hotels in Rio de Janeiro are some of South America’s best accommodations. Before we get to hotels in Rio de Janeiro, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way. 

Prior to the Colonial period, the Rio de Janeiro region was inhabited by the Tupi, Puri, Aimoré and Maxakalí peoples. On January 1, 1502, Gaspar de Lemos, captaining a ship in Pedro Álvares Cabral’s fleet, became the first European to encounter Guanabara Bay. Sanctioned by King Manuel I of Portugal, Amerigo Vespucci participated as an observer on the 1502 Lemos expedition. By 1555, Villegagnon Island had become occupied by 500 French colonists. Under French admiral Nicolas Durand de Villegaignon, Fort Coligny was constructed around this time. An attempt to establish France Antarctique, or a French colony, led to years-long conflict between the French and Portuguese. French forces were permanently expelled on January 20, 1567. Led by Portuguese soldier and officer Estácio de Sá, the city of Rio de Janeiro proper was founded on March 1, 1565. Named São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro after Saint Sebastian, the city was threatened or invaded several times until the early 18th-century, mostly by French pirates and buccaneers. In the late-17th century, Bandeirantes, or Brazilian colonial period Paulista colonizers, discovered gold and diamonds in the neighboring captaincy of Minas Gerais. On January 27, 1763, with the advent of gold, the Portuguese-American colonial administrative district relocated from Salvador to Rio de Janeiro. As a consequence of Napoleon’s 1807 invasion of Portugal, Portuguese royal family members and associated Lisbon nobles fled to Rio de Janeiro the following year. Rio de Janeiro became the only European capital outside of Europe following the Portuguese royals’ arrival in 1808. Several institutions were founded thereafter such as the Military Academy, Royal School of Sciences, Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, National Library of Brazil and Botanical Garden. The pro-government Gazeta do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil’s first printed newspaper, began circulating around this time as well. The city of Rio de Janeiro became the capital of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves (1815-1821). In 1821, the royal family returned to Lisbon, at which time Rio de Janeiro remained the Kingdom of Brazil’s capital. The Americas’ largest slave port, Rio de Janeiro saw slave intake increase from around 500,000 (1811) to around 1,000,000 (1831). Dom Pedro I became Emperor of Brazil in 1822, when he proclaimed the Independence of Brazil and kept Rio de Janeiro as the new empire’s capital. The city became a South American epicenter of abolitionist and republican movements in the latter-half of the 19th century. On November 15, 1889, Brazil’s Old Republic was proclaimed. Leading up to the Revolution of 1930, Brazil went through a Republican Constitution, Naval Revolts, a Federalist Revolution and Civilian rule, respectively. An armed insurrection across Brazil, the 1930 Revolution resulted in a Revolutionary victory and the installation of Getúlio Dornelles Vargas as president. One of the Americas’ most renowned hotels of the ensuing 1930s, The Copacabana Palace Hotel opened on August 13, 1923, and would help to establish Rio as a world-class beach resort destination. Brazil’s capital moved from Rio de Janeiro to Brasilia on April 21, 1960 in order to promote the development of the country’s interior regions. Rio de Janeiro hosted the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final (Germany 1-0 Argentina) and the 2016 Olympic Games.

Home to around 6.2 million “Cariocas”, Rio de Janeiro is Brazil’s second-most populous municipality behind São Paulo. The city’s skyline has 36 buildings at over 328 feet in height, the tallest being Rio Sul Center at 535 feet. Copacabana and Ipanema beaches are located in Zona Sul, or the South Zone. Pier Mauá is the city’s cruise terminal, which is located in the downtown area on Guanabara Bay’s western shore. Cruise Lines operating in Rio de Janeiro include Royal Caribbean, MSC Cruises, Oceania Cruises and Celebrity Cruises. South America’s most traveled city, Rio welcomes around 3 million visitors annually. Oil, mining, telecommunications and tourism are top economic contributors. Arranged for the 1935 carnival, Rio’s official song is titled “Cidade maravilhosa”, or “Marvelous City”. Rio de Janeiro is characterized by a tropical climate. January-March summer high temperatures average around 79 °F, while June-September highs stay around 65 °F. Summers are hot and humid whereas winters are warm and sunny. Rainy season occurs between December and March. Additional points of interest include Downtown (Centro) and Hipódromo da Gávea (horse racing course). Local foods include feijoadas (bean and meat stew), picanha (round beef), pastel de queijo (cheese pastries), chicken coxinha (deep-fried croquette), pão de queijo (cheese bread), moqueca (seafood stew), bolinho de bacalhau (codfish cakes), kibe (fried kibbeh), cassava chips, bacalhau (salt cod bites) and brigadieros da escocia (chocolate truffles). Brazil’s national drink is the Caipirinha (pronounced kai-purr-REEN-yah), which is made with cachaça (a rum-like liquor), sugar and lime. Other popular drinks are beer, wine, açai drinks, fruit juices, iced tea, lemonade and sugarcane juice. With some background information on the area, we’re ready for hotels in Rio de Janeiro that will help make for an incredible experience.
