Villa Paranaguá Hotel & Spa
Nestled in the heart of Rio de Janeiro’s historic Santa Teresa neighborhood, Villa Paranaguá Hotel & Spa is a boutique hotel in Santa Teresa that combines luxury, comfort, and inclusivity. Once the home of Brazilian actress Tônia Carrero, this charming property has been beautifully restored to offer guests an exceptional stay where history meets modern elegance, surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking views.
Location and Accommodations
Villa Paranaguá is located in the vibrant neighborhood of Santa Teresa, known for its rich culture, artistic energy, and charming cobblestone streets. The hotel features six exclusive suites, each designed to provide a peaceful retreat from the city’s lively buzz.
The interiors, carefully renovated by Marie and Pierre Beuscher, showcase a harmonious mix of styles. Each room boasts high ceilings, iconic design furniture by creators like Sérgio Rodrigues, Le Corbusier, Philippe Starck, and Naoto Fukasawa, as well as handpicked art pieces. The result is a space that feels both refined and welcoming, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.
Guests are also treated to one of Rio’s most stunning panoramas: an amazing view of the iconic Pão de Açúcar (Sugarloaf Mountain). Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning or relaxing by the pool, the breathtaking scenery is a highlight of the experience.
A Luxurious Swimming Pool Surrounded by Nature
At the heart of Villa Paranaguá’s serene outdoor space lies a stunning swimming pool, inviting guests to unwind in style. The pool is surrounded by lush, tropical vegetation, creating an intimate oasis that feels worlds away from the city’s hustle and bustle. Whether you’re taking a refreshing dip, lounging on the poolside deck, or simply soaking up the peaceful ambiance, the experience is truly unparalleled.
The combination of vibrant greenery, fresh air, and luxurious design makes this pool area one of the most relaxing spots in the hotel. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a quiet afternoon, a good book, or even a cocktail as the sun sets over Rio’s iconic skyline.
Breakfast: A French-Inspired Delight
Start your day with a breakfast experience that brings a little bit of France to Rio.

Gay-friendly hotels selected by misterb&b
We strive to ensure that gay travelers feel welcome wherever they go. To support this mission, we have introduced gay-friendly hotels as alternatives to our community-based room and apartment-sharing options. This initiative is made possible through our partnership with B2B accommodation providers, which enables us to connect with a wide range of properties worldwide.
How do we evaluate these properties as gay-friendly hotels?
To assess their welcoming attitude and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community, we consider several criteria. These include support or affiliation with LGBTQ+ organizations such as IGLTA, TagApproved, NGLCC (USA), and LGBTNetwork. We also evaluate how hotels engage with the LGBTQ+ community by checking for an LGBTQ+ section on their websites, their marketing investments in LGBTQ+ media, staff training programs (such as those offered by Out Now), and their Human Rights Campaign (HRC) ratings in the USA.
When booking with misterb&b, you help support organizations fighting for LGBTQ+ rights around the world.
Find out about Mister for Good initiative in the footer and help start building tomorrow's world by making a donation.
Supporting the community is not just about survival, it's also about thriving, empowering and making a difference.
