Short Info: The grande dame of Rio hotels, the Glória was built in 1922 to provide luxury accommodations for dignitaries attending Brazil’s centennial celebrations. An annex was added in the ’70s in the same style, making the 630-room Glória Hotel one of Rio’s largest hotels. If you can afford you can reserve a deluxe room — the views of the bay and the Sugarloaf are well worth it. The junior suites are located on the corners, each of which feature a large living room furnished with lovely antiques and a very spacious master bedroom with big windows overlooking some of Rio’s finest scenery.
A little bit smaller than the deluxe rooms, the pleasant superior and standard rooms offer garden views. All the rooms in the Annex have been completely renovated and look very nice although they are not overly large. But no matter which room you get, you can indulge in the outstanding amenities, some of them are: lovely gardens, the best sun deck in the city with views of the bay, marina, and Sugarloaf, two large heated swimming pools, and an outstanding fitness center and others as well.
