Novotel Rio

Rio de Janeiro


Set slightly back from the beach and therefore slightly lower in price than other hotels, the Novotel offers a comfortable stay in one of Leme's loveliest streets. With a pool, gym and fantastic breakfast each morning, alongside friendly staff, this hotel is a decent choice for families who don't necessarily need the luxury that bigger hotel names bring.
