A chip off the La Maison block, La Suite shares an owner, and a concept — a tiny and impossibly stylish luxury guest house, far enough off the main tourist drag to escape the crowds, but close enough to feel like you’re in on the action. In La Suite’s case, this means Joatinga, one of Rio’s most exclusive residential districts, at the end of a gated street, with some of the best ocean views in the city and access to a well-kept secret: Joatinga Beach.
Seven rooms is about as intimate as it gets, and as rooms, they’re remarkable — well-designed, individual, luxe but not ostentatious, and best of all, all seven take advantage of the phenomenal view, from full-length windows or private balconies. One pool would be enough for a hotel this size, but La Suite has two, not to mention Joatinga Beach, a surfer’s paradise, a couple of minutes’ drive down a cliffside road.
There’s no restaurant per se, and nothing but houses within walking distance, but the hotel’s kitchen is run by a highly accomplished chef — eat on the terrace taking in the view of the beach and the Atlantic, or in the swanky modernist dining room. Getting out means a taxi ride, as Ipanema is a good fifteen minutes away; La Suite’s bar, though, is tempting, open more or less all the time, and it’s a short stumble home.
How to get there:
La Suite is approximately a 30 minute drive from Rio de Janeiro/Galeão - Antônio Carlos Jobim International Airport. Please contact CustomerService@TabletHotels.com for assistance with airport transfers.

What I liked:
The hotel has the most gorgeous view you will ever see. Also, it is amazingly well done and feels more like staying in someone's home than in a hotel.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!

What I liked:
The building and how it was designed and furnished were tres chic!! Francois and Rodrigo could not have been more hospitable and charming.
What the hotel could do better:
Only one item was a bit tacky. The instructions were clear that they accept only cash or travelers checks. What is not said is if you do pay with travelers checks they add a 10% service charge which should have been clearly stated.

What I liked:
Everything! Be welcomed by François-Xavier & Rodrigo, our room with fantastic views, the food, all the details & attentions in the stunning decoration.
As it was for our honeymoon we had a bottle of Champagne and fresh fruits to welcome us with a very nice note from the owners.
The amazing breakfast was served on our private terrass and we felt like movie stars... It wasn't our first time in Rio, as we're in love with the city, but we couldn't imagine such views and such a special location in Rio, only 15 mins from Ipanema. La Suite is realy a gem where we've been treated as we never been in any hotels we stayed.
What the hotel could do better:
Absolutely nothing! We would recommend La Suite to anyone and already did it. It's just a very special & fantastic place!
