Our take

The Plaza Spania Hotel's rooftop terrace is best suited for travelers seeking a calm, unpretentious spot to relax after a day of exploring Rio.

This terrace caters to those who appreciate quiet moments and a local feel.

  • ✓Head up to the terrace in the late afternoon for a quiet moment before dinner, enjoying the city's transition to evening.
  • ✓Consider bringing a book or a podcast to enjoy on the terrace, making the most of its peaceful atmosphere.
  • ✓Visit the rooftop for a relaxed breakfast if the weather permits, starting your day with a fresh perspective.

Why guests love it

Two 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.
