About this property

Welcome to Hotel Serramar

Hotel Serramar stands out as a tranquil retreat nestled at the foot of the mountains in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. Boasting a commendable 4.5-star rating, it combines comfort and breathtaking views into a memorable stay. Guests consistently praise its well-maintained, modern rooms featuring comfortable beds and updated bathrooms with excellent showers, making rest and relaxation a priority here.

The hotel's outdoor pool is undeniably its highlight. With an expansive length and stunning vistas over Barra da Tijuca’s skyline and surrounding nature, it offers an unparalleled place to unwind. While some guests note the pool’s temperature can be quite warm, it remains a serene spot, especially for those seeking calm away from the bustling beach hotels nearby.

Hospitality shines through at Hotel Serramar. Visitors commend the helpful and attentive staff, who provide a smooth and welcoming experience from check-in to departure. The dining experience, however, presents mixed feelings. The complimentary breakfast is simple yet satisfying, fueling guests for the day ahead.

Facilities include free Wi-Fi, parking, laundry services, and airport shuttles, catering well to both leisure and business travelers.

The absence of a fitness center does not detract significantly due to the abundant natural surroundings and activities nearby.

Overall, Hotel Serramar delivers a restful escape with genuine charm and striking landscapes. Its balance of accessible pricing, cozy accommodations, and scenic appeal makes it a compelling choice for travelers seeking both comfort and a unique connection to Rio’s diverse terrain.

Hotel com excelentes acomodações e boa localização. Café da manhã muito bom! Deixo apenas um adendo para a piscina que não sei se era aquecida mas a água estava muito quente, principalmente para um verão de 42 graus no RJ. O quarto parece reformado e a cama muito confortável. Hospedaria tranquilamente de novo, ainda mais pelo preço "acessível".

Staff we're unbelievably helpful, very clean and tidy very basic but its everything you need. Breakfast is the same every day which is disappointing but that's the only issue with the place. Pool and views are unbelievable.

Hotel lindo, porém, minha ressalva é quanto as refeições. A comida do hotel é péssima e cara. Comprei dois strogonoff de frango, para mim e minha filha, onde a batata palha que veio era velha, não tivemos coragem de comer. Para minha sobrinha, comprei uma pizza cheia de óleo que ela não teve coragem de comer. Num dia antes, minha amiga comprou uma batata gratinada, que fez muito mal a ela perdendo um dia das férias com problemas intestinais. Ela informou à recepção, que simplesmente não fez nada para amenizar a situação. Espero que eles mudem a refeição do hotel, pois é muito ruim você pagar caro por algo e não compensar o que gastou. No mais, o hotel é top, a piscina maravilhosa.

Awesome view and location. The commom area with the pool is really beautiful and welcoming. I was not a guest and for that reason I can't avaluate other points. I was at a meeting with Espaço La Vista, the event crew from the hotel, and they were really great and professional.

Beautifull location by the foot of the mountain, great view and long swimmingpool. Better than the beach hotels. We will come back.

Gostei muito do hotel, os quartos são bons, porém algumas coisas podem melhorar, como as camas. Os banheiro são ótimos, chuveiro top. Café da manhã bem servido, simples e atende bem. A piscina é maravilhosa. Só deixa a desejar um espaço kids, tem só 1 brinquedo que fica na grama próximo a piscina. Tem bastante espaço que daria pra fazer um espaço separado para crianças. No geral curti muito o hotel e voltarei sem duvida.
