About this place Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro

Hotel Nacional is the cylindrical tower designed by Oscar Niemeyer on the seafront at São Conrado, between Leblon and Barra da Tijuca. It stood empty for years before reopening, and is now a large mainstream resort-style hotel with ocean views from most rooms and a pool. It is listed as gay-friendly, not as a gay venue, and rates 4.5 from over 6,000 Google reviews. São Conrado beach, where hang-gliders land from Pedra Bonita, is right outside. The catch is distance: Ipanema and Copacabana, where Rio's gay beach spots and bars are, are a taxi or metro ride away, and the hotel sits beside the large Rocinha community. Use taxis or ride apps after dark.

The place is incredible. We didn't stay there, but we went to the restaurant on the 30th floor and saw several things. We received a very warm welcome, and the building is truly remarkable, offering the best views of Rio de Janeiro.

They're using employees to approach tourists and locals, promising good freebies like valuable vouchers (day use, 150 reais to use at Colombo, ticket to Christ the Redeemer). They ask for your personal information (for later spam), take you on a shuttle to a lecture, and try to coerce you into investing in the hotel. Many uninformed people do it. EDIT: They respond with a generic AI-savvy reply, as you can see.
