Windsor Marapendi  

On Rio’s sun-soaked Barra da Tijuca beach, directly in front of the sand. This 5-star beach hotel sits minutes from Village Mall and Barra Shopping Mall, with Bosque da Barra Park and Recreio dos Bandeirantes Beach close by.

Warm wood finishes from reforested plantations give the lobby, bar and rooms a modern-yet-natural vibe. The hotel has 487 air-conditioned rooms with full or partial ocean and mountain views, minibars, LED TVs, private baths with bidets, safes and desks. A glass‑railed rooftop pool serves up one of the best beach views in Rio—perfect for family-friendly stays or a slick city escape.

Swim in the outdoor and rooftop pools, melt stress in the sauna, or hit the fitness center. There’s a hair salon, poolside bar, bar/lounge, restaurant and coffee shop, plus 24-hour room service and concierge. Limited onsite parking is available—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and step straight onto the sand.

Event facilities, spacious meeting rooms and a business center make this a solid choice for work trips. Complimentary wireless internet and a 24-hour front desk keep meetings and travel logistics running smooth.

On-site restaurant dishes up local flavors, the café serves quick bites and great coffee, and the poolside bar keeps cocktails flowing. Room service is available around the clock for late-night cravings or beachside breakfasts in bed.
