North Zone

North Zone is not exactly where you want to stay if you want to visit the attractions. But if you insist still there are a few places to lodge such as Arosa Rede Rio, Book Now and Hotel Paraguai. These are not at all flashy but the friendly staff and room rates (including breakfast), will make you feel at home. They are in close proximity to the beach and offer good value for money.

West Zone

This is the area you should be staying in if you are looking forward to spending time on the beaches. Hotels such as Windsor Barra, Book Now and Sheraton Barra, Book Now have all the amenities to spoil you, right from rooftop swimming pools to luxury restaurants. If you are not too inclined towards seeing the centre of Rio, stay at mid-range, modest but friendly Hotel Praia Linda. It offers rooms that provide a beach view plus facilities like Wi-Fi and a decent restaurant. Tropical Barra Hotel is also a great accommodation situated close to the beach with an amazing buffet breakfast.

Central Zone

For shopaholics, this is the dream area to stay in. You have a range of mid-priced hotels located in the shopping hub with many of them, a very short distance from the beaches. Windsor Asturias, Hotel Granada and Sao Francisco are a few hotels that promise excellent hospitality and comfortable rooms in a prime location. For those on a budget, the clean & friendly Hotel Carioca is a good choice. Many of its rooms have a nice view of the ‘Christ the Redeemer’ statue.
