GRAND HYATT RIO DE JANEIRO, Rio de Janeiro

Grand Hyatt Rio De Janeiro - A beachfront 5-star urban resort with lagoon views, three dining options, and extensive leisure facilities

Rio's first self-styled urban resort combines high ceilings, open spaces with living plant walls, and design nods to local landscaper Roberto Burle Marx. Even standard rooms feature furnished balconies with lagoon or ocean views, spacious bathrooms with separate showers and tubs, and toiletries by Brazilian brand Granado. Guests at Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro can dine at three onsite restaurants serving Italian, pan-Asian, and Brazilian cuisine, including a bakery with Atlantic Ocean views. The property includes two outdoor pools, a sauna, fitness center with a yoga studio, and staff-led beach activities like surfing and volleyball. Located in Barra da Tijuca, the hotel faces the beach and Marapendi Lagoon, near landmarks like Barra Garden Shopping Center (3 km) and Atiaia Spa and Fitness (0.5 km). Business amenities include 2000.2 m² of conference space, while families benefit from a weekend kids' club. Grand Club Lounge access offers executive-floor guests daily cocktail service.
