Good value new design hotel located between Copacabana and Ipanema beaches Not sure whether to stay in Copacabana or Ipanema? Hotel Portinari captures the best of both worlds. Situated half way between these two legendary beaches, Portinari is named after Brazil's famous Modernist painter, Candido Portinari, and is a work of art in its own right. Ten of Brazil's top architects and designers were invited to bring their unique creativity to different parts of the hotel, from the lobby bar to the rooftop restaurant. Each of the 11 floors was assigned a different architect, including Sig Bergamin and Chico Gouvea. Result: 66 rooms and suites ranging from soothing, contemporary and minimalist to colourful, tropical or traditional. Wherever you are in the hotel the different styles will reach you, whether it be the spa mosaics, the specially commissioned black and white stills of Rio or the staff's funky uniforms. When it first opened, this hotel managed to break the mould. Today it still wins its place as one of a kind. read more and book at i-escape
