Santa Teresa Hotel RJ – MGallery

Housed in an 1850 coffee plantation, the hotel’s decor and architecture are inspired by that era. Noble materials, cement floors, tropical woods, and banana fibers combine with contemporary designs by Sergio Rodrigues and Zemog. Away from the bustling South Zone, it’s perfect for those seeking privacy and elegance. The 44 rooms, divided into six categories, feature king-size beds with 300-thread count cotton sheets and plenty of Brazilian art. With views of tropical gardens or the Santa Teresa neighborhood, the pool opens to Guanabara Bay, Le Spa is a haven, Térèze restaurant offers local gourmet cuisine, and Bar dos Descasados is the spot for nightlife.
