Aquarela do Leme

Rio de Janeiro


This beautifully designed, upmarket hostel is located on a wide road just inside the Babilônia favela in the neighborhood of Leme. The spacious private suites and dorms all feature balconies, spectacular sea views and modern bathrooms. The large, airy common areas (including a fantastic rooftop terrace) have huge windows, pure white walls and the odd well-judged splash of color.
