Our 4th stay at MGallery and it doesn’t disappoint due to the helpful staff, cosy rooms, pool and excellent food. Santa Teresa’s a lovely oasis in Rio’s suburbs, yet within easy reach of all its attractions.
Breakfast menu was unparalleled. So many options on the buffet, all delicious, and the menu items are prepared to perfection.
The staff is warm, attentive and kind.
The property is beautiful, with superb design and attention to details, surrounded in lush greenery.
The pool area is so luxurious, we didn't want to leave it.
I would heartily recommend.
It was our third visit and was as lovely as all of the other times before. Incredible location, nice rooms, lovely swimming pool, views for days… will definitely be back
Santa Teresa Hotel Rio de Janeiro was one of the highlights of my first trip to Rio. I stayed here for my birthday after spending a few nights at the Emiliano, as I wanted to experience different areas of the city, and I'm so glad I did.
From the moment we arrived, the staff delivered exceptional service. Whether it was restaurant recommendations, arranging transportation, helping with luggage, or answering questions, everyone was friendly, attentive, and eager to help. The hotel also felt very secure, with staff monitoring the entrance at all times, which gave us great peace of mind.
One of the standout experiences was our couples massage at Le Spa. We chose the Couple's Ritual Renewal treatment, and it was easily one of the best massages I've ever had. It was so relaxing that both my girlfriend and I fell asleep.
The hotel made my birthday extra special by surprising me with a cake and decorating the mirror in our room. It was a thoughtful gesture that showed how much attention they pay to the little details.
The property itself is stunning, with lush greenery throughout, beautiful rooms, a gorgeous pool, an inviting bar, and incredible views overlooking Rio. The breakfast was outstanding, with a wide variety of delicious options each morning.
Overall, Santa Teresa Hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. The hotel, staff, food, service, and cleanliness were all 10/10. I would absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Rio.
Staff was fantastic, great suggestions for what to do. Was a little disappointed with my room. I thought I’d paid for a balcony but got a patio instead so not much of a view. Beautiful property, food is excellent, I would definitely stay here again. It’s a great alternative to the beach. Lots of character and charm.
From the moment you step foot through the main entrance to the hidden paradise of the Santa Teresa Hotel you are made to feel most welcome. The staff are lovely. Our room was gorgeous. The food delicious. And the view! Wow!
A beautiful hotel in the heart of Santa Teresa . Loved the ambiance. Spa was great. Rooms are a great size and Clean! Breakfast was amazing every morning. I would definitely come back here !
This is beautiful old colonial style house that has been turned into a boutique hotel. If you want to stay away from the beach area and hotel strip, this is a wonderful stay. It is very quiet and relaxing so keep that in mind when booking. The staff was amazing and helpful. Tip: book the higher level rooms for more space and better views.
The people really made our stay special. Always willing to help and go out of their way to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Wish they had luggage racks in the room.
This is my favorite get away in Rio. The grounds, pool area and buildings are just perfect. I hope they never change a thing. We checked in early and never left the hotel for 24 hours as the restaurant and bar on site are perfect. Thanks for an amazing time, and we will be back soon!
I absolutely enjoyed my stay at this location! What you see in the pics are exactly what you get. I honestly cant say enough great things about this property, and the staff! Everyone was friendly, I felt completely safe, the food was good, and the pool was a vibe! The area also felt safe and walkable, I will be returning!
Stayed at MGallery Rio for a week for my birthday in search of a peaceful place to relax and wind down. The place is beautiful with incredible views and garden, prefect place to relax after a long hot a hectic day in Rio.
Staff is great and welcoming, they were very helpful and offered to change my room as i was given a room close to entrance/frontyard which can be noisy to due to guests talking in front of it.
Food and breakfast is really excellent, pool and jacuzzi were great too although the deck could be refreshed.
I would definitely stay there again.

Spend half your time in Ipanema, the other half here. impeccable grou es, facilities, service. Lovely setting meticulously maintained. Friendly. One of the best restaurants in the city looking over the harbor and Centro. Some.great.neigjborhiid.places too such as Bar Maneiro. Great walk via colorful Lido steps to downtown and historical. attractions.
The property and pool are gorgeous! Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The only downside was slow pool bar service. Also consider the location if you will be relying on ubers- often times drivers cancel because of the difficulty getting to the top of the hill. I will definitely recommend the hotel and stay again if I return to Rio.
We loved this hotel. A real oasis in the hills away from the amazing hustle and bustle of downtown Rio. Wonderful staff who were very happy to help you out. A lovely restaurant where we celebrated our friend’s birthday. Wonderful balcony room with a slight view of Christ Reedemer. Loved the pool and pool bar, although the cocktail making could do with some attention, and the staff there were slow. Would come back to stay if ever in Rio again.
This was our second stay and we honestly can’t fault the exemplary service levels we received and the quality of food in Tereza Restaurant. The staff genuinely make you feel welcome and are so helpful.
Whilst we appreciate renovations need to be undertaken, we hadn’t been informed before our arrival that the views across Rio would be obliterated by hoarding. The pool area wasn’t ideal for a relaxed stay which is why we’ve given a 4* rating.
Please don’t be put off because MGallery offers a little bit of quiet paradise in frantic Rio!

Pros: Great location in Santa Teresa. Very nice and helpful staff. Good breakfast selection. Nice heated pool, long enough for laps. Nice garden and bar area.
Cons: We had a deluxe room with balcony. The room (#14) was very small and there was nothing to put up our 2 suitcases. Putting them on the floor made it difficult to walk. The bathroom also did not have enough space to place toiletries.
