Back to Intercontinental Rio
While the views from the south rooms are spectacular, the hotel is focused on it's convention-type events and not-so-much their tourist demographic. When we could actually find a concierge, only one person gave us any useful information about sightseeing logistics or restaurants. It's out of town - but has a nice beach and is next to a proper shopping mall - so expect traffic going into Ipanema and Copacabana. Request a remodeled room and be aware that there is massive construction going on at the south side of the hotel - they start work early.

Very good hote, clean, spacious rooms, excellent service, nice restaurants. It is not so far from the main scene - you take a taxi and you there but then you can come back and sleep well because the place is pretty calm. To be recommended!

I've been in the Intercontinental several times (ten or more) and I allways come back when visiting Rio. The hotel is just in the way from Rio to Barra and close to both places (five to ten minutes by car) The hotel front is São Coronado beach the hotel back is the favela Rosinha (both very interesting places) The Fashion Mall, the most exclusive shopping mall in Rio, is just two minutes walking from the hotel. Service is very good, rooms are a bit old but comfortable.

Being in Rio to work isn't the best way to go, but to be in Rio at all is great.
