Stay at a luxurious urban retreat inspired by the golden ages of coffee and cocoa
Enjoy breathtaking views of the city
A luxurious boutique-style urban retreat nestled in the historic Santa Teresa neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. This exquisite hotel, built on a 1850's coffee farm, draws inspiration from the golden ages of coffee and cocoa, reflecting the rich local culture of its surroundings.
The architecture and decoration of the hotel pay homage to eco-friendly materials sourced from the diverse lands and cultures of Brazil. Utilising elements such as burnt cement, lime, wine or golden slate, tropical woods, banana tree, buriti or bacaba fibers, the contemporary designs of Sergio Rodrigues, Rock Lane, Studio Vitty, Zemog, and Oficina de Agosto seamlessly blend together to create a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere, evoking a sense of privacy and comfort.
The beautifully designed apartments and suites feature Brazilian design furniture and are connected to gardens teeming with lush plants and fruit trees. Guests can indulge in the serene open-air swimming pool, offering stunning views of Guanabara Bay, or find tranquillity at Le Spa—an oasis of relaxation in the heart of Rio de Janeiro.
At the Santa Teresa Hotel, they take great pride in providing exceptional cuisine that showcases the local culture while maintaining a commitment to community involvement and sustainability practices.
Sustainability: The hotel takes sustainability seriously, incorporating various initiatives to minimise its environmental impact. The hotel focuses on energy efficiency by using renewable energy sources and implementing energy-saving practices throughout its operations. Water conservation is also a priority, with the adoption of water-saving technologies and responsible water management. Additionally, the hotel promotes waste reduction and recycling programs to minimise its ecological footprint. The Santa Teresa Hotel is dedicated to supporting local communities and artisans, sourcing locally-produced goods and engaging in community projects.
