For international travels to Brazil, if just one of the parents is traveling with the child, the parent must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorizing the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. If the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorization, a judicial authorization is required. People intending to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate prior to traveling for more information.

They have a bar on the rooftop with DJ, magnificent view of Lapa in the night, sometimes they close the bar at 10:30pm, you have a welcome drink from 5:00pm to 5:30pm so don't be late.

The staff are wonderfully helpful (and speak English!). They accommodated an early check in for us and allowed us to store our bags after check out due to a late departing flight. Definitely recommend!

Good location & nice staff

The staff were super lovely and the property is in a good location. The rooms are nice but I think we were just a bit unfortunate to get one without a working extractor fan which made the room a bit damp and smelly... we did let them know but we were only there for a short time! Wifi was good Kitchen could do with a few more spoons!
