Brazilian Modernist Villa in Rio de Janeiro

Thanks to the private villa’s lofty and secluded location on the edge of a protected forest, such sights as Sugarloaf Mountain, Guanabara Bay, and the city rooftops provide impressive backdrops from various vantage points around the property—including the living room with expansive windows, the patio with its vaulted concrete pergola, and the 360-degree panoramic viewing point on the roof.

Entering through beautiful concrete arches and a stunning six-meter-high wooden door that overlooks Santa Teresa and Guanabara Bay, one is immersed in a venue of meticulously crafted textiles, bamboo sheets, and cushions carefully chosen in Thailand and Europe.

Key architect of Brazilian Modernism, along with Mies Van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer, Wladimir Alves de Souza left his mark.

It’s a unique architectural villa made of arches, concrete and precious woods.

We spent a great week! The house is gorgeous, the team warm but professional. Decoration is beyond expectations : Space and design make an oustanding experience.

The fantastic location in the colourful neighbourhood of Santa Teresa (just 3USD by taxi/uber to city center), combined with impeccable interior design and lovely hosts made our stay in Rio an absolute pleasure.

This villa is really a delight for the eye. It is arranged in such a way that it functions perfectly as a hotel. Each room is different but is equally beautiful. The view you have in the garden and at the pool is beautiful and you even see the sugarloaf mountain. The breakfast is also exactly what you expect from a good hotel.

Located in Santa Teresa, one of the hippest places in Rio, in the coolest, safest area of the neighborhood, surrounded by great bars and restaurants, Chez Georges is not really a hotel, it's an experience. It's the closest thing to owning a gorgeous mansion overlooking the Sugarloaf that you could have.

What dreams are made of : The incredibly warm staff are the added magic to a beautiful house and view. Truly couldn't have been a better experience.

Sophie, London
Incredible designer hotel perfect for a luxurious stay in Rio! The staff were all very friendly, and spoke English, French, and Portuguese. Because the hotel is boutique, it never felt overly crowded, and still we met many great people also staying there. The neighborhood (Santa Teresa) is very cool and easier than expected to navigate.
