From
66.929 €
“Direct access to Barra beach, Rio's longest stretch (18 km), without the crowds of the southern zone.”
Flat Barra Residence-4 pessoas-Fa1204-3 occupies a suite in the Bourbon complex, facing Avenida Malibu, a stone's throw from the sand. We are far from postcard Rio, here it's Barra: recent towers, shopping centres, family beach. The apartment accommodates four people, has an equipped kitchen, free Wi-Fi connection, and gives access to the hotel's pool and fitness centre. Room service and the establishment's restaurant come in handy when we do not want to go out. The rating of 9,6/10 on 45 reviews testifies to serious management, from 67 € per night. For those seeking Rio without the hustle of Copacabana, it is a pragmatic option.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend this address to families and travellers who prefer the space of an apartment to the classic hotel-room format. It is a practical base for those wanting to discover Rio without enduring the density of the southern zone, with children or for a stay of more than three nights. Couples in search of carioca romance will pass it by; here we are in the functional, well executed.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The Flat Barra Residence occupies a suite within Bourbon Barra, a recent residential tower typical of the neighbourhood. Contemporary interiors without frills: light tiling, modular furniture, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the avenue or the sea depending on the floor. The whole prioritises practicality over décor, with open-plan kitchen and generous storage spaces.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
The Bourbon hotel restaurant offers a buffet breakfast and room service until 22:00. The menu proposes classic Brazilian and international dishes, without gastronomic pretension. We are a ten-minute walk from BarraShoppingCentro, which concentrates around twenty tables, from Japanese to churrasco.
