"Start the day, perhaps, with breakfast (also available to non-guests) at the Hotel Santa Teresa Rio MGallery. Occupying a former colonial-style fazenda in the bohemian Santa Teresa district, this boutique hotel is a veritable refuge in the city. It has managed to preserve its historic architectural features, such as the stone walls and wooden floors, while at the same time introducing modern décor that ranges from indigenous handicraft to works of art by renowned designers such as the Brazilian Modernist Sergio Rodrigues." - The MICHELIN Guide
