- Area description
- Leblon is a district meant for walking. If you choose the Oceanside, you will be able to cross the district- from jardim de Alah to the Visconde de Albuquerque canal-in thirty minutes and it is hard not to stop along this itinerary. Leblon has a wonderful assortment of restaurants and bars (for all kind of pockets), very beautiful people and a family oriented sidewalk that merge the natural attractions of the Zona Sul and a friendly neighborhood environment.
As the locals would say the best leblon is that you may go out at night on your sandals or high heels, no difference you will always find a good place to go, besides running into Joao Ubaldo Ribeiro or Chico Buarque, brazillian prestige celebrities while cruising the side walk.
The hotel is only 5 minutes from Lpanema and 10 minutes from Copacabana.

Great location
The location can't be beat. It's in the middle of LeBlon on the beach, and close to all of the great restaurants. The actual hotel does lack some amenities. For example, the shower wasn't great. Our safe was initially broken. The "free wifi" does NOT work so do not rely on that. However, I have to say the staff were really nice and helpful, especially considering we did not speak Porteguse.

Good location
The location is great! On the beach, and close to the best restaurants. The amenities are a bit lacking- the wifi does not work at all, shower was just ok. However, the staff were wonderful (even though we didn't speak Porteguse) they really tried to help us with restaurants, reservations, etc!

Great location, rooms need refurbishment
Ipanema and Leblon beaches are without a doubt the best places to stay in Rio. Of the hotels comparable to Marina Palace, this is the best price. Rooms could use some upkeep.

excellent location but..
facing Leblon beach and has beach service. But old 80s furniture (clean) means it's a bit pricey. Good breakfast, excellent variety local fresh fruits.

Fun in the Sun -- Great Leblon Hotel
Hotel was a great find. The area is very safe and comfortable. Walking distance to beach (accross the street), bars, great restaurants, and shopping. Rooftop bar is amazing for laying out. Drinks are a bit pricey, but not out of control. Service is kinda slow; you're on vacation so not a big deal. Rooms are good sized, we were in a renovated one and it was nice. Shower was amazing (size & pressure). View from room was very good. Tip: Go to the grocery store a few blocks away to get cheap water, wine, beer, and vodka. It's just like a safeway.

Buy booze, water, wine, & snacks at the grocery store. It's cheaper than hotel or duty free.

Excellent service and location
We just returned from our second stay in Rio and our first at the Marina Palace. The rooms are slightly dated and small. We had the option of upgrading, but the space is the same, only newer furnishings. The room is kept very clean and tidy. The hotel was fabulous in terms of service and location, one of the best I've ever stayed in. Every staff person was helpful and polite. The location is great for the beach and walking and getting the feel of Rio. The breakfast buffet is great, as well as the food in the rooftop bar and the second floor dining room. The view from the rooftop could not be better! It was a great experience.
