La Suite by Dussol

Absolutely incredible views that are jaw dropping. The service and staff are amazing! The room was pretty, but the water pressure and water temperature need to be checked on in order to perfect this stay. One note is it’s about 15 min west of Leblon, so it may not be a good central location for tourist attractions. We stayed closer to Copacabana to do those things and then moved here for a few days to relax! Overall, I’d recommend!

The place was absolutely beautiful. I was almost heartbroken when I had to leave. It was the true definition of a boutique hotel with niche art from all over the world and its lavish aesthetic. Out of all the hotels me and my gf stayed at this view and service was the best by far. I can’t give Daniel enough praise he made our stay a joy. I’d come back just for his service and dedication alone. My only gripe was our room, the white suite, needed some extra cleaning and our sheets weren’t clean when we first got there. They promptly fixed the issues however. I’d come back!

Beautiful property. Staff is wonderful especially Emily, spoke great English and made us feel very welcomed. Stay for the view and pictures. Without coffee in the room or strong internet working from here is a challenge. So just don’t :)

La Suite by Dussol is an atmospheric hotel with dramatic coastal views and its own very stylish and idiosyncratic "modernist" art vibe. The rooms are eclectic, spacious, comfortable and also stylish in their own way. The pool area, separate from the main lounge/terrace area, is very nice also, peaceful with dramatic views. Burger (and fries) ordered by the pool side was one of the best I've had in many years (for real), noteworthily good. Breakfast on the terrace (again with dramatic views) is good (although simple - but personally I like that). The property is located down the coast from Rio, I guess in a suburb of Rio, and accessible through a winding private driveway with gated security which together with the property's secluded and leafy nature makes for a kind of "James Bond" hideaway feel, in my view that's not a bad thing! Service is pitched just right, led in the day by Emily, available on whatsapp, and nothing is too much to ask. Breakfast can be calendared by whatsapp and you are likely to have the terrace to yourself which makes for an exclusive feel.Two minor reservations are not to do with the hotel management at all. One is the occasional music from an adjacent (private) property which is unfortunate given the whole advantage of this hotel is its peaceful, secluded and leafy nature. But it is not a serious problem at all. The second is actually the secluded nature of the property - Uber is hard to come by (although does work), the novelty of the winding driveway in and out wears off slightly, and the car journey into central Rio is quite long and prone to traffic. But you would be foolish to come to this property to rush around too much, it is best for a quiet time enjoying the extraordinary ambience that this hotel has created and the interesting location. Regret not booking longer, hope to return. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at La Suite by Dussol very much. It is located in an exclusive neighborhood, some 20 minutes by taxi from Ipanema beach & Leblon. After 5 nights in the heart of the action (Leblon & Santa Theresa), it was a welcome haven of peace and tranquility. It's a beautiful property, with exquisite taste, and views to die for. The rooms are slightly dated (with neither TV nor minibar, but the former was certainly not a problem!), but extremely comfortable and with thoughtful touches, and ours (the yellow room) with a delightful balcony. The service was impeccable, the food (including the complimentary delicious breakfast) and the drinks service irreproachable. We are already planning our return visit for next year. All in all, highly recommended. A & J, Feb. 2025

Exceptional and personalized service! Best view in Rio! One of a kind hotel. Staff are very well trained and know how to serve their guests. I cannot say enough great things about the hospitality, decor, architecture, ambience and unique experience at Dussol.

We stayed in this hotel at the end of our trip around South America. It is a little way out of the centre but in my opionion it's definitely worth staying here. There are only a few rooms in this hotel so it is boutique and it felt very secure. We stayed in the purple room which was huge, very tastefully decorated with an enormous bed and a balcony that looks out over Rio. We had no trouble getting Ubers to pick us up, our maximum wait was around 10 minutes because it was night but that was fine. |Every day we got an Uber to the sights and returned late afternoon to swim in the pool with a view. We received lots of tips for where to eat nearby from the staff. You order everything on WhatsApp which was easy (and we are 60+). On our first night we ate at the hotel and they set up a table for us in the lounge area with a view of Rio at night. I can honestly say it was magical. In the morning you WhatsApp the staff to let them know you are ready for breakfast and they set up the table in the dining area where they bring you a good variety of food and drink. It was a great breakfast.|If you want a little piece of paradise and are happy to travel the short trip to the sights of Rio, i would highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed here for the last three nights of our 16 day tour of Argentina and Rio.|The setting is simply stunning with beautiful views over to Sugar Loaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer.|The hotel only has eight rooms which is lovely, it’s like staying in someone’s house and the dining areas were very private. Mostly there were only one or two other couples eating dinner, you almost felt like you were the only ones there.|We ate here every night and although the food choice is limited, there is enough variety and it is very tasty, nicely presented and reasonably priced. You can preorder dinner via WhatsApp which is a good idea as I would imagine this saves massively on food waste.|Breakfast too is excellent, it was very relaxing to look out over the sea towards the city.|We stayed in the ‘blue room’ which although beautiful could do with a little bit of a ‘tidy up’ it is showing wear in places, especially in the bathroom.|Service was very good by all staff members but a special mention needs to go to Daniel and also a female member of staff whose English was perfect (sorry I can’t remember your name). Their efficiency in service and responding to WhatsApp messages was outstanding, thank you. |We stayed over the Easter weekend and they even left an Easter egg in our room (very nice touch)!|This review would easily have been five stars if a couple of changes are made, i.e the bathroom being ‘attended’ to and also the inclusion of a mini fridge, I did miss not being able to get an ice cold drink when I wanted one. You could easily send a WhatsApp message for room service but it wasn’t quite the same.
