The hotel is a fantastic location right in Barra Da Tijuca. The ocean and beach views from the rooms and from the rooftop pool are breathtaking! The hotel is not brand new but the rooms were spacious, clean and very well cared for. The breakfast buffet is an incredible spread with so many fresh and delicious options for all. We enjoyed our time and the hotel so much extended our trip to stay an extra night because it was that awesome! But the best part of this hotel was hands down the staff and service. You truly feel you are in a 5 star hotel with the amazing level of service. I wish I could name all who helped us but everyone from the check in, front desk to the servers and bartenders, to all the staff at breakfast and the security guards, bellman, housekeeping, every single staff member treated us with the utmost level of kindness and superb service. This is what made our stay so memorable! Ok and the views plus location can’t be beat either! We are planning another trip to Rio next year so we can stay at the Windsor even longer! Thank you for a fabulous stay and for your commitment to providing excellent customer service!

Totally unacceptable that a 5 stay hotel has THE WORST GYM I’ve ever been to. Charged R$150 a day when I had a guest over for 2 days is absurd. Lobby staff wasn’t friendly. Pool staff was. Half of the power outlet in my room (1609) weren’t working after checking in. I would not be back. I will go somewhere else next time.

Classic hotel, close to the beach, a little bit old fashioned and “formal”.

Good location right across from beach. Lovely top floor with pool and 2 hot tubs but they both had cold water in them, not heated hot tubs. WiFi was terrible unless in lobby, by pool or at 3 am. Restaurant great, staff very helpful, friendly. Clean, comfortable rooms. Safe area. We walked everywhere in the neighborhood. Would give it a 5 except for hot tubs and WiFi.
