Santa Teresa Hotel RJ — MGallery Review
A boutique hotel in a converted estate building at Rua Almirante Alexandrino 660, in Santa Teresa.
Best for
A second visitCouplesTravellers who would rather have a view and a house than a beach and a lobby
Why it stands out
The building and what it looks at. Nothing on the beaches offers a converted estate house with the whole bay underneath it.
Main trade-off
Santa Teresa scores 5.5 for walkability and 4.0 for transport, the lowest in the city on both. Everything is downhill from here and the way back is a tram or a taxi.
Why we recommend it
Best for the hill
Our pick for Santa Teresa because it occupies a converted coffee-estate building on Rua Almirante Alexandrino, the street the tram climbs, with the bay below it — which is the entire reason to accept this area's inconvenience.
