Why guests love itTwo sisters on a first trip to Rio picked the Plaza Spania for its price and kept returning to the rooftop terrace more than expected. After long days out, they carried snacks up at dusk and talked over the next morning's plans in the cooler air. The rooms were streamlined, the continental breakfast covered the basics and the Wi-Fi was reliable. There was no bar scene and no grand panorama to speak of, simply a quiet place above the street.
