Stage 1 - Rio de Janeiro
Referred to by the staff as ‘Paradise Island’; and the only beach-front hotel on the entire Ipanema, Copacabana and Leblon coastline; the Sheraton is an oasis of calm in the city of Rio
Each of the 559 apartments, tastefully decorated to complement the tropical surroundings, has a safe, cable TV, and Sweet Sleeper™ beds manufactured specially for the hotel. All have ocean views; and when the moon is full, the vista is truly scintillating
There are four restaurants, with options for ocean view dining (including breakfast with the local monkeys…); three heated swimming pools, with atmospheric music; two illuminated tennis courts; and a multi-purpose sports court overlooking the ocean. Access to 6,000 sq m of unspoilt sandy beach is immediate
Other facilities include sauna, spa, massage, and a fitness centre with a view of the landscaped grounds
Shuttle buses run regularly from the hotel to Ipanema, Copacabana and Leblon beaches, and Rio Sul shopping centre. A special children’s area, with childminders, is designed to keep youngsters occupied
Recently fully renovated, the Sheraton is the finest that Rio can offer; and the perfect place to recover after a long-haul flight, in preparation for the next part of the journey, into the Brazilian interior
