rio de janeiro is one of the most sought-after world destinations, attracting a wide variety of visitors from all over the world year-round - seeing as there is a high demand to experience this unique city, there is an extensive selection of accommodation options, ranging from the budget-friendly to the extravagant and over the top. 

 due in part to a remarkable economic expansion in rio de janeiro and in brazil as a whole that attracted occasional visitors as much as investors, accommodations have, over the years, grown in number and variety - a rich portfolio of chic boutique hotels are now among leading the trend in the local accommodation industry. 

the increased overall safety of the city and improvements in infrastructure together with the major events hosted in rio, such as the fifa word cup, rio+20, and the yearly carnival, gave a strong incentive for development.
