Caesar Park Rio de Janeiro Ipanema Managed by Sofitel

Very well located, you can't ask for more. Extremely secure. A pleasure will go back again.

This is an expensive hotel, but it's also about as good as hotels get in Rio. For those used to traveling in the U.S./Mexico/Europe, Rio hotels are generally more expensive and offer less. Having said that, this is as close to those hotels as it gets for Rio. It is clean, with good sized-rooms with flat screen TVs, and good bathrooms. Normal hotels in Rio are dirtier, with cramped rooms, and outdated TVs and bathroom fixtures. The location is perfect, right at Posto 9 in Ipanema. The only downside is the price. It is expensive.

Spending Carnaval in Rio was amazing and staying at the Caesar Park in Ipanema was the best option. It is located in front of one of the best beaches in Rio, near several restaurants and where street parades happened. The hotel has excellent service at their restaurants and at the beach. The room was very spacious and the bed was awesome.

GOOD SERVICE AND GOOD ROOMS DESPITE TOO STREET NOISY.

The hotel needs complete refurbishing work and staff would need to be replaced almost entirely. Bad management in all sectors/services and terrible facilities/rooms. I would not return even for half the price paid during last stay at this hotel.

The price of the breakfast buffet (65 R$ per person) is a pretty bad joke. The beach service is very valuable. The swimming pool (roof top) is rather small - no swimming possible.

I don't want to say that the staff is unfriendly or not nice, I just found the staff, overall, to be very gloomy... No smiles, no hellos. The mood is very somber. And the rugs in my $400 a night room are extremely dirty..

Besides the Copacabana Palace, Sheraton or Fasano, this is the best place to stay in Ipanema, in the best part of Ipanema near Posto 9. Location-wise it is better than all of the above. Been staying here many times since 2002. Still has a great location, great views, and best gym with a view in the world. Hadn't stayed here since 2004, and the rooms looked the same, so needs updating. Staff are as always friendly, courteous and helpful. A rio classic, please make sure you get a room in the front with sea view, and avoid rooms on the side on the lower levels as it can get noisy from the street. You cannot beat the location and the view so enjoy!

Don't expect a Hilton or Marriott even at the high rates and 5 stars, but think it's the best of the other hotel choices. It's beach area so I guess the hotels in Rio don't have any pressing need to upgrade their facilities. We walked around the city, ate at the neighborhood resturants, hit a club in the evening, toured Cristo, and a day at the beach. Ladies no matter what your looks or weight is this is your opportunity to wear a bikini. Me and my friend were the only ones (I mean it) in full bathing suits.

The Caesar Park Ipanema is situated in a very scenic part of Ipanema. The beach is a stone's through from the front door and the view is breathtaking. The room offers beach front views, and has excellent restaurant facilities for both business and personal. The room are very clean, roomy and offered any and all amenities that might be of need for the traveler. The hotel has a well-equipped business center on the first floor and an excellent exercise room on the top floor. In general the staff speaks fluent english, is very professional and accommodating to your every need.
