About
Sol Ipanema Hotel
Sol Ipanema Hotel sits directly on Avenida Vieira Souto, facing the sands of Ipanema. The location puts you within a 5-minute walk of the Banda Simpatia e Quase Amor street carnival band, and a short stroll from the Arpoador rock and the Leblon shopping district. The hotel is a comfortable base for exploring Rio's most iconic beach neighborhood.
Rooms are air-conditioned and come with king-size beds, flat-screen TVs, and minibars; many offer ocean or sea views. The rooftop pool and sun terrace provide a quiet spot above the beach bustle, while the on-site restaurant and bar serve breakfast and meals throughout the day. Guests can also take advantage of the fitness centre, business facilities, and a full menu of massages and beauty treatments.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Outstanding service — Multiple guests highlight the helpfulness and friendliness of the front desk and broader staff, from booking tours to answering endless questions.

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Tiny rooftop pool — The rooftop pool is described as a plunge pool rather than a swimming pool, so it’s best for a quick dip, not laps.
- General rating slightly lower than other categories — The 'General' category sits at 7.3, notably below the hotel’s other scores, which may indicate occasional inconsistencies in the overall experience.
- No parking on site — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities, so guests arriving by car will need to plan for nearby options.

8.4Verified guest“The reception team was kind and incredibly helpful. I'll definitely return on my next visit — they made my trip to Rio memorable.”
8.4Verified guest“The staff were exceptionally helpful with all my questions, and there were many. Travelling alone, this hotel suited me perfectly, especially the beach view from both the restaurant and my room. The rooftop pool bar is small, but I never struggled to find a seat or lounger. The pool is really just a plunge pool for cooling off.”
8.4Verified guest“Excellent location and very accommodating staff.”
