LA SUITE RIO www.lasuiterio.com

Glamorous cliff top guesthouse - ultra stylish bedrooms and panoramic views of Rio's spectacular coastline

Just 10 minutes drive from Ipanema gets you to affluent Joatinga. It is here that French owner François-Xavier, who opened La Maison, Rio's first boutique B&B, found the perfect spot for La Suite. It's easy to see why. Perched high above a secret surf haven, La Suite enjoys a stunning cliff top setting. From its large open-sided sitting room you get 180 degree views back to Rio's coastline most never get to see. Its glam location must be fit for the gods as Pele is your neighbour.

Interiors are reminiscent of a lavishly decorated French manor house with a very modern twist with hip 1970s furniture. Its seven bedrooms use vibrant colours to startling effect: each comes with Warhol prints and matching marble bathrooms: yellow bedroom leads into yellow marble bathroom; choose the pink bedroom and you'll find its bathroom clad in rare pink marble. There's a private deck for massages, an infinity pool with staggering views and some fine dining by arrangement. An exclusive district, breathtaking setting and impossibly romantic.
