Modernistas Hospedagem e Arte

Stranded 1 night in Rio & exhausted. Booked a room at Modernistas Hospedagem e Arte because it's in a traditional touristic neighborhood, as opposed to the beaches. I already know (& love) the beaches but was coming to Rio after 2 wks on Florianópolis beaches. Missed my flight to US at Riogaleão, arriving after midnight. Check in ends at 6pm, but for a small late check-in fee, the reservations agent secured an onsite caretaker, Antonieta, to await me. By the time I picked up my bag, cleared customs, secured a willing Uber driver, arrived at property 1:30am. Antonieta was happily awaiting me, assisted with baggage, showed me the room (an amazing king suite!) and how to use locks-keys. I was exhausted & just wanted to rest. I was happy to find that breakfast was 9am-12pm, a huge plus for night-owls or late arrivals. Room was stunning. Patio door is a museum piece. The entire place is a treasure trove full of modernist objects, design and prose. After a great night's sleep on a comfortable king bed, I had the breakfast included in the (very reasonable) rate. It was healthy & plentiful. I do functional training, had lifted a ton of weight the day before & not eaten since lunch in Floripa 24 hours earlier. I needed calories & protein. The breakfast provided both and was absolutely delicious. I spent the balance of the day exploring the place & the galleries. This place is a MUST if you want to see real Rio/Rio ART. Recommending to friends & everyone else.

Very unique accommodations that's part of an art gallery. The proprietor (Thelma) and staff (Mateo) were both amazing and friendly and we chatted (via google translate). Thelma also made a beautiful breakfast!
