Hilton Barra Rio de Janeiro, hotel in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
The Hilton Barra Rio de Janeiro is a hotel in the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, occupying a modern high-rise building with rooms and suites across several floors. Many rooms have balconies overlooking the Jacarepaguá Lagoon or the surrounding urban landscape.
Barra da Tijuca started developing as a residential area in the 1970s and grew into one of Rio's main business districts over the following decades. The hotel was built to meet the growing demand for modern accommodation in this part of the city.
Barra da Tijuca is known for its long beaches and large shopping centers, and the hotel sits right in the middle of this modern side of Rio de Janeiro. The interior displays works by local artists that show everyday scenes from the city.
The hotel is within walking distance of the Metropolitano shopping center and a short drive from the Barra da Tijuca beach. The Olympic Park is also nearby, so it helps to plan visits to these spots together to make the most of your time in the area.
The rooftop bar and restaurant called At Rio Rooftop and Lounge hosts live music with a DJ and saxophonist on Friday evenings, which is unusual for a hotel rooftop in this part of Rio de Janeiro. The terrace offers a wide view over the neighborhood that stretches toward the lagoon.
