THE PINK NOTEBOOK VERDICT
Santa Teresa Hotel RJ MGallery by Sofitel
Santa Teresa Hotel RJ MGallery by Sofitel occupies a coffee farm built in 1850, on a hillside in Rio de Janeiro's Santa Teresa neighborhood, with views that reach Guanabara Bay and Christ the Redeemer from the upper rooms. The Selaron Steps are a short walk away, with Arcos da Lapa and Catete close by, and the city center about 2 kilometers off. Forty-three rooms across four floors keep the place intimate by design, true to MGallery's boutique format, so guests wanting anonymity in a large tower should book elsewhere. Rooms carry tropical Brazilian decor, king beds, and bathtubs, with views over the gardens or the surrounding neighborhood; the Suíte Royal, the largest at 120 square meters, looks out over the bay and the mountain and comes with its own grand piano. Le Spa covers massage, sauna, and steam, and the outdoor pool holds panoramic views over the city. Bar dos Descasados is known for its cool crowd, and Térèze, the hotel's restaurant, serves contemporary Brazilian cooking that stands among Rio's better hotel dining rooms. This suits people who want Santa Teresa itself, its gardens, hillside streets, and historic ground, rather than a base on the beach strip; anyone set on being steps from the sand should look elsewhere. Pets under 5 kilograms travel for a surcharge, and staff shift between Portuguese, English, and French without friction. What separates it from Rio's glossy beachfront addresses is the ground beneath it: a 19th-century coffee estate turned hotel, not a tower built for the view. A 19th-century coffee estate turned 43-room MGallery hotel on a hillside in Rio's Santa Teresa, closer to the Selaron Steps than to any beach. Bar dos Descasados and the restaurant Térèze draw a following of their own. It suits people who want the neighborhood's own pace, not a beachfront base.
