Hennessy House  

Perched in Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro's artsy hilltop neighborhood. A short ride from Corcovado/Christ the Redeemer, Mirante Dona Marta and the Museu Internacional de Arte Naif, and about 3 km from the city center and Lapa nightlife.

A small, laid-back hostel set in a manor with panoramic city views and a rooftop terrace. Seven guestrooms and communal spaces match Santa Teresa’s arty, bohemian vibe. Rooms are warmly decorated and equipped with private or shared bathrooms with showers.

Rooftop terrace and garden with sweeping views, a bar/lounge and barbecue area with grills for casual evenings. Shared/communal kitchen, TV in the common area, tour/ticket assistance and complimentary wireless internet keep things easy. Expect birdsong—and the occasional long‑tailed monkey in the neighborhood.

Complimentary wireless internet and a computer station on site. 24-hour front desk plus laundry and dry‑cleaning services available.

Complimentary continental breakfast is served daily. There’s a communal kitchen to prepare your own meals and a bar for drinks, while Santa Teresa’s restaurants and traditional bars are just a short stroll away.
