Marvelous City Rio is an English-language travel publication for exceptional stays and experiences in Rio de Janeiro.

We cover hotels, dining, culture, neighborhoods and the details that make a visit work. Our guides help you choose a setting, understand the options and plan time for the city beyond your hotel.

How we work

Our editorial guides bring together research from operators, public authorities and other relevant sources. We explain meaningful differences, link to supporting information and distinguish confirmed arrangements from plans. We do not describe a hotel stay or visit as firsthand unless that reporting has actually taken place.

Our artwork presents Rio through editorial illustrations. Hotel portraits interpret their subjects artistically; room categories, views and facilities should be assessed through the written guide and the property’s current booking information.
