Short Info: Located in a rather quiet residential neighborhood just off Copacabana, the Luxor Hotel offers outstanding value. Rates seldom top 120 US dollars and those who book on the Internet can reserve a room for as little as 80$. For that you get services that are worthy of a deluxe hotel, for example: room service and business center, high-speed Internet, large fitness room, and rooftop pool. The rooms themselves are comfortable albeit a tad on the plain side with a double bed or twins (make sure you state your preference when booking), a small table and chairs, and counter. Although bathrooms have showers they come with hair dryers which is a good extra.
The Luxor Hotel is set 1 block from Leme Beach, which is really the continuation of Copacabana beach. However, Leme’s trafic is much lighter than in Copa and with fewer hotels it is also not as touristy. Leme’s big advantage is its strategic location; both downtown and Ipanema are only a 15-minute cab ride away and Copacabana is a 10-minute stroll. To make the most of the view, reserve a room on the 16th floor or higher that faces the ocean. Nonsmokers will be happy to know that the entire hotel is nonsmoking.
