Exceptional Hospitality and Vegetarian Friendly Dining
Pros:

We absolutely loved staying at the Hotel Santa Teresa MGallery. The service is outstanding, the property is very unique and carefully designed, and the restaurant offers an excellent dining experience. We were especially impressed by our hosts, Andrew and Daniel, during dinner, who provided great, warm, and professional service.

Overall, we highly recommend both staying and dining here. There are also plenty of great vegetarian options available.
For us, this hotel is a must when visiting Rio.

Hôtel, vue panoramique, jardin, tout est magnifique et le personnel est au petit soin.
Pros:

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la gentillesse et professionnalisme du personnel, le cadre verdoyant, le style et les petits déjeuners

Cons:

Les nuits sont bruyantes le weekend. La musique electro jusqu’à 6h00 du matin, c’est dur…
Pas fan du restaurant, la carte manque de plats simples ou légers.

Hidden Gem
Pros:

The service was impeccable, and the hotel was lovely. The pool area and gardens were where we spent most of our time at the hotel during our stay. The views of the city and the lusciousness of the gardens made it feel like an oasis. Alex and the rest of the staff were very attentive. Definitely recommend the fish ceviche and any of the items from the BBQ if you’re poolside! The restaurant, Térèze, was wonderful with professional, friendly staff all through the day. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner there during our stay. Make sure to have a Carajillo after your dinner. And the Ovos Santa Teresa is a must for breakfast.

A Hidden Oasis in Rio
Pros:

Amazing experience at the MGallery Hotel! We went there to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary, and we were welcomed with so much warmth and a real sense of history. The rooms are beautiful, with thoughtful little details that we will definitely remember! The barbecue experience was fantastic, and we truly felt far away from the chaos of the city, completely immersed in nature!

Romantic Gateway in Santa Teresa
Pros:

We celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary in this hotel. We started with drinks at the pool bar. Alex and Henrique were really attentive and friendly. After that we had an amazing dinner at Tereze, the hotel’s restaurant. The room was amazing, the whole service was fantastic incredible. At breakfast, Aroldo served us with a huge smile, offering the best à la carte dishes. I highly recommend this hotel for a romantic gateway.

Impeccable hotel
Pros:

Excellent service, as always, in a beautiful hotel. This is my third stay here, and the consistency is impressive. Year after year we’ve met familiar faces working here which speaks volumes about the experience you’ll have. The pool area has been upgraded with wood flooring and furniture. The rooms are impeccably clean with attention to detail. Santa Theresa is a semi-secret gem in Rio - don’t miss it.

L’endroit parfait pour séjourner à Santa Teresa
Pros:

Cet hôtel est un paradis au cœur de Santa Teresa.
Son emplacement est idéal, le personnel est souriant et aux petits soins. Tout est magnifique.
L’hôtel a fait l’objet de rénovations très réussies ces dernières années.
Le petit déjeuner est parfait, la piscine très agréable. Il est possible de dîner au restaurant gastronomique : à recommander.
Les snacks au bord de la piscine sont également très bons.
En bref un havre de paix avec une mention particulière pour la gentillesse de tous les employés.

Cons:

Seul petit bémol peu important : les nouveaux transats au bord de la piscine qui sont trop bas si l’on n’a plus 20 ans 😀. Mais très jolis au demeurant.

Too good to share!
Pros:

Amazing as always! Typically come with the wife who also loves this stylish oasis. This visit was for business and sadly came alone, but the Sta T staff were so kind and thoughtful. Thanks to all staff — including Alex especially for his caipis and the impromptu Portuguese lesson.
