Latin America, Rio de Janiero
A modern hotel but with a personal character due to the large gay clientele
Ideally situated just one block from the gay section of Ipanema Beach, the Ipanema Plaza is on the Rua Farme de Amoeda – the main gay street for clubs and bars in the heart of this fashionable and safe neighbourhood.
The hotel is an 18 storey block with 135 rooms and a roof-top pool and terrace area offering stunning views of both the city and the beaches. It’s ideally suited for gay travellers but the hotel also attracts businessmen so don’t be surprised if there is a queue for the internet stations.

Rating and advising on hotels around the world is a tricky business as standards and facilities vary so widely not to mention issues such as décor style, service levels and location with particular relevance to gay amenities.
We don’t pretend that we have got this right but our Pink Triangles are our attempt to give a personal assessment to enable comparisons to be made between the various properties in an area which we feature. Couple this with price and our hotel descriptions and you should be able to make a reasonable assessment.
