Janeiro Hotel (ex-Marina All Suites)

Marina All Suites is a mainstream upscale hotel on Avenida Delfim Moreira, directly across the road from Leblon beach, listed as gay-friendly. Every suite faces the ocean and has a living area, Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV and a coffee maker. Some upgraded suites were decorated by individual designers, some add kitchenettes, and the top suite has a whirlpool tub. Breakfast is included, and there's a bistro and an open-air bar. Leblon is one of Rio's quieter, wealthier beach neighbourhoods. The gay stretch of beach in Ipanema, near the rainbow flags at Farme de Amoedo, is a walk east along the sand.
