Find Boutique Hotels in Zona Sul

"The hotel is up the hill away from the madness of the beach and downtown areas, but still a 15 minute walk to the heart of Gavea and a 15 minute cab ride (download Uber or app called "99" before you go!) to Ipanema and Leblon.

"It has been some years since I stayed at the Miramar hotel. The service and quality.of care is not to be beat. Desk clerks, door men, the lady.at the breakfast check in were uniformly polite and nowledgeable. It reminds me of a hotel in Europe, but the rooms are bigger. A great stay. "
