Pousada Barra Sol  

In Barra da Tijuca on Rio de Janeiro’s west shore, a short drive from Tijuca Lake and just minutes from Pepe Beach. Minutes from Shopping Downtown, Itanhanga Golf Club, Pedra Bonita and Pedra da Gávea, with Tijuca National Park, Leblon Beach and the Botanical Garden all within easy reach. About a 5-minute hop to the beach and the Ocean Garden metro station.

Small, modern pousada with 20 guestrooms that mix simple comfort and local pace. Rooms feature minibars and private bathrooms with showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Conveniences include desks, ceiling fans and daily housekeeping; some room categories are air-conditioned.

Tour and ticket assistance plus partnerships for excursions — think Corcovado, Sugar Loaf, hang gliding, Pedra Bonita and nearby beach trips. There’s a barbecue area and a common TV space for laid-back evenings — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and hit the sand fast.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Free onsite self-parking and luggage storage make short stays and transit easy.
