Hilton is continuing its expansion in Brazil with the opening of Yoo2 Rio de Janeiro, the Tapestry Collection’s first hotel in the seaside city.

A trendy locale

It will be the company’s 20th hotel in the country and is planned to be owned and managed by ICH/Intercity Hotéis.

The property has a planned 135 keys, with a mix of rooms and suites. There’s also a rooftop pool terrace, a restaurant, gym, spa, bike rentals and meeting rooms. 

Yoo2 Rio de Janeiro will be located in the Botafogo neighbourhood, with views of Sugar Loaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer. Botafago is close to the downtown region, Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon and the south zone beaches.

The hotel is just seven kilometres from Santos Dumont Airport and 20 kilometres from Galeao International Airport. 

Hilton grows portfolio

It builds on Hilton’s continued expansion in the country, where it plans to introduce two new brands in the coming years. 

“We are delighted to welcome guests to experience this renowned destination through the hotel’s original, vibrant personality and design combined with Hilton’s signature service,” said Anabel Gruber, general manager, Yoo2 Rio de Janeiro, Tapestry Collection by Hilton.

The company continues to pursue additional growth opportunities in the region and currently has a robust pipeline of more than 110 hotels, including more than 10 projects in Brazil and the upcoming arrival of two new brands in Brazil, Homewood Suites by Hilton and Motto by Hilton.
