Vila Gale Rio De Janeiro - A historic palace-turned-hotel with a pool, spa, and vibrant Lapa district access

Vila Gale Rio De Janeiro is an upscale 4-star hotel (rated 8.7/10 on Booking.com) in the bohemian Lapa district, housed in a restored 19th-century palace. The 292 rooms include individually decorated accommodations with air conditioning, minibars, and laptop-friendly workspaces, some featuring garden or pool views. Guests can dine at the Versátil restaurant, serving buffet-style meals, or enjoy the Saturday feijoada buffet and Sunday Portuguese feast. The outdoor pool has its own bar, while the Satsanga spa offers a gym, massage room, and Jacuzzi. Located in Lapa, the hotel is 0.5 miles from the Municipal Theater, 1 mile from Santos Dumont Airport, and near the Arcos da Lapa tram to Santa Teresa. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Vila Gale Rio De Janeiro.

Pros

The historic palace section preserves 19th-century charm with suites featuring tufted headboards and vintage decor.

The Satsanga spa includes a Turkish bath, hydrotherapy, and anti-stress treatments.

Two on-site restaurants serve Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and a weekly feijoada buffet.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, including in meeting rooms and the convention center.

The outdoor pool area features a bar for drinks and light snacks.

Cons

The pool lacks scenic views due to its enclosed location.

Some rooms face interior courtyards rather than city or garden vistas.
