Encontros Hotel (Adult Only)

Encontros Hotel is an adult-only hotel on Avenida Gomes Freire in Rio de Janeiro's Centro, a mainstream place listed as gay-friendly rather than a gay venue. In Brazil, adult-only hotels with this kind of name usually cater to couples looking for privacy, sometimes with short-stay rates; check what is offered before booking a longer stay. The location is a few blocks from Lapa's bars and the Arcos da Lapa, and well placed for downtown, but far from the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. Centro gets quiet and less safe late at night, so take a taxi or app ride after dark. Google rating is 4.0 from about 500 reviews.
