Located in Copacabana, the Augusto is three blocks from the beach in the centre of the bars and clubs district. Ipanema with its gay bars is around 25 minutes walk or a short taxi ride away

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.
