The Gloria Rio Hotel is a luxury hotel located near the downtown area, in sight of the Sugar Loaf, Corcovado Mountain and Guanabara Bay. The hotel occupies a strategic location in a historic section of Rio, just five minutes from the beaches and from Dumont Airport. A true landmark in the city, built in 1922, the Gloria Rio is a work of art in itself. However, guests will enjoy first-world standards of comfort in a thoroughly modernized and complete facility. Some of the features at the Gloria Rio are thoroughly unique. A truly extraordinary feature of this hotel is the Gloria Theatre, a venue for Rios' cultural life, where hotel guests enjoy 50% off admission.
The guest rooms are all equipped with state-of-art telephony and modern amenities. The décor of the rooms is decidedly traditional, with antique furnishings, Persian carpets and original works of art underscoring the historical nature of this fine hotel.
