About

Riale Brisa Barra

Riale Brisa Barra sits on Av. Lucio Costa in Barra da Tijuca, a short walk from the beach and the quieter side of Rio’s coastline. The hotel keeps things simple but comfortable: rooms come with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and many have balconies facing the ocean. The outdoor pool is heated, and there’s a sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi for unwinding after a day out.

Guests consistently mention the friendly staff and the quality of the breakfast, which includes eggs, sausages, fruit, and local juices. The hotel also runs a restaurant and poolside snack bar, so you don’t have to go far for a meal. With a 24-hour reception, luggage storage, and valet parking, it’s built for convenience—especially if you’re driving along the coast.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

5 reasons to book
  • Beachfront location in Barra da Tijuca — The hotel sits right on Av. Lucio Costa, with direct beach access and ocean views from many rooms. Guests repeatedly mention the convenience of having the beach steps away.
  • Highly rated staff and service — Staff score 8.9 in the ratings, and multiple reviews highlight how polite, helpful, and attentive the team is.
  • Strong breakfast and dining — Breakfast includes a wide spread—eggs, sausages, fruit, cheese, ham, and local juices—and the restaurant serves dinner that guests call 'superb'.
  • Comfortable, clean rooms — Rooms are described as 'spacious', 'comfortable', and 'very clean', with balconies and ocean views being a recurring highlight.
  • Good value for Rio — At a typical price of £195 per night, guests note that the quality far exceeds what you’d get for less elsewhere in the city.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Price is steep for a 4-star — At £195 per night, the hotel isn’t cheap, though guests generally feel it’s justified by the location and quality.
  • Not in the heart of Rio — Barra da Tijuca is a bit out from the centre, Ipanema, and Copacabana—guests note that you’ll need a taxi or transport to reach those areas.
  • General rating is lower than individual scores — While specific categories like rooms and staff score above 8.7, the overall 'General' rating is 8.1, suggesting some aspects may not meet the highest expectations.
  • Limited room variety for families — Most rooms are set up for two or three guests; the only quad option is the Super Deluxe front ocean view, which may not suit larger families.

“A lovely hotel in a newer part of town, still close enough to Rio’s centre, the cruise port, and the airport. Our room was spacious with good Wi-Fi and a nice view—everything we wanted was within walking distance.”

8.6Verified guest

“Great rooms with free Wi-Fi and a balcony overlooking the ocean. The location was superb, near enough to the centre, Ipanema, and Copacabana, and easy to reach by taxi.”

8.6Verified guest

“Excellent value for Rio—pay a bit less and you end up in a dump, but here you get proper comfort: great rooms, good beds, and a nice view.”

8.6Verified guest

“We chose Barra da Tijuca over Ipanema or Copacabana because we wanted great beaches without the crowds. The beach opposite the hotel was exactly that. The room was comfortable with a stunning sea view, and breakfast was fantastic—scrambled eggs, sausages, fruit, toast, cheese, ham, honey, jam, and more. We also had dinner twice and the food was superb.”

8.6Verified guest

“Staff were extremely helpful and polite at all times. Breakfast and the evening self-service meals were good, rooms were spotless, and the location was quiet.”

8.6Verified guest

“Spacious top-floor balcony facing the sea, a spa bath, and beach towels provided—perfect for relaxing.”
