Promenade Palladium Leblon

I got a good deal for Carnival week. The hotel is low key, on a side street a block from the beach, so nights are quieter without as much traffic or crowd noise. You’re still surrounded by restaurants, bakeries, cafes, groceries, and other city conveniences, and delivery services cover the area. The building feels a bit old and could use modernization, but everything worked. The shower had instant hot water and very good pressure, the Wi-Fi was fast with a strong signal, and the quiet AC worked well. I swam laps in the pool each afternoon and had it to myself apart from the lifeguard. Front desk staff were friendly and spoke good English. Getting an Uber or 99 in Leblon was easy, and the metro was just a three-minute walk down the street.

We’re really glad we picked the Promenade Palladium in Leblon. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious, housekeeping was great, and breakfast was quite good. The hotel is in what felt like the safest area of the city, a couple of blocks from the beach and right in the middle of the neighborhood, so you feel like a local. There are dozens of great restaurants and stores close by. Highly recommend!

Everything was clean and tidy, the shower pressure was great, and everyone at the hotel was super friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect, two blocks from Leblon Beach and one from downtown, with its restaurants and shops. It doesn’t have that brand-new hotel feel and could be more recently renovated, but everything is well kept. Highly recommend!

The staff were attentive, from the front desk to the pool and facilities teams, and the breakfast was good. We also got an unexpected bonus with the afternoon tea, which I’d recommend. The pool is a little old and gets only limited sun, around midday. Its lunch break and closing after 5pm also seemed unusual for a similar hotel. Still, I’d highly recommend staying here if you want to be around Leblon. The location is fantastic.
