I agree completely with the review of DioPortoAlegre. My family and I stayed here for 6 days during the first week of June. Unlike DioPortoAlegre though, I had to pay close to double the "cultural price" since I'm a foreigner. I wish to highlight other remarkable things about this hotel like complimentary strong Brazilian Coffee near the lifts, 24 hour... more

Promenade Palladium is a nice hotel in Leblon, Rio's best neighbourhood. PROS - well maintained and furnished, large rooms (some with kitchen and living room) with balcony, comfortable bed, delicious breakfast and best location in Rio for those who want to enjoy shops, theatre, cultural scene, nice restaurants and bars and beach in a high level safe area, a walk... more

There seems to be a misconception in America that Rio is a very dangerous city. Well, if it is, we didn't see it. Actually never felt the slightest threat. Spent most of our time in Leblon, but went out at night in Ipanema, Santa Teresa and Lapa, as well. Can't speak for Copacabana as we had no interest in what... more

Great breakfast, helpful staff, excellent location. No hot water for 2 (non-consecutive) days, and other minor problems more

This hotel is the best bang for your buck in Leblon. The location is great- only 1.5 blocks from the beach and close to all of the great restaurants and night life. Aside from that it has a very safe feel to it and you don't think twice when walking nearby. The rooms are very spacious and very modern. I... more

In the last three years I have been traveling very often to Rio for business and, since then, Paladium is the place I love to stay. The staff is very professional and helpful, the location is perfect, two blocks from the beach and just in the middle of "Baixo Leblon" where most of good restaurants and bars in Rio are,... more

The Palladium Hotel offers excellent value in a great location in Leblon. It is very convenient for the beach, sightseeing and evenings out. The hotel is one block in from the beach and 1/2 block from the main shopping street. Rooms are spacious and clean. The management is very friendly and speaks English. Outstanding breakfast buffet is included in the... more

Stayed here for 3 days. Very comfortable. Leblon is a very nice area and an easy walk to Ipanema. The hotel room was very spacious and modern with its own lounge and dining area. The kitchen was a bit of a stretch though as it only contained a fridge coffee maker and sink. The cafe was very good with a... more

Ideal as business hotel with access to the old city, the subway system and the classier area of Leblon. Make sure you ask for a room with a view as some rooms look into an inner courtyard. Trade off is the street noise at 7-8am. Has wifi and breakfast included, taxis outside the door, good english speaking staff. It has... more
