For many years, the Glória was Rio’s classiest stop. Traditionally, it was where the Henry Kissingers of the world stayed and where scores of international conference were held. And why not? Built in 1922 (a year before the Copacabana Palace) it was inaugurated by the Brazilian president and was to provide luxurious accommodations for international guests attending Brazil’s centennial events.
Located on the sweep of Guanabara Bay, it offers views of Sugar Loaf and Flamengo Park but, alas, it is not on a beach. It does, however, have lovely gardens and two heated pools. The public areas are old-world beautiful with formal brocaded sofas and chairs, carved-legged tables and ornate mirrors. Guest rooms (there are 630 rooms and suites) have antique touches but the infrastructure and amenities are all contemporary.
Rooms in the annex, which was added in the 1970s, are smaller but similar in décor. There is a business center, a fitness center and several restaurants; breakfast is included in the room rate. It is just a few minutes from the Glória Marina, where citycruise ships dock and, since Guanabara Bay is often polluted, guests head to beaches in Leme and Copacabana.
