— How would you describe Casa Marques in a nutshell?
Louis: “Casa Marques is a beautiful, artsy boutique hotel in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Beautifully situated in the bohemian neighbourhood Santa Teresa, which overlooks the city, our boutique hotel is a mixture of Colonial and Brazilian architecture. Its location and design make it the perfect spot for people who have already explored the touristic areas in Rio and are looking for something with a calm atmosphere.”

Louis: “Very peaceful surroundings make the perfect backdrop for our small luxury hotel, with views of the sea and the mountains. There are three types of rooms at Casa Marques. Our Standard Suite is 20 square metres, the Deluxe Suite is 25 square metres, and the Master Suite is 40 square metres. Three of the hotel rooms are in the traditional Colonial house, while the modern rooms in our contemporary annex have larger windows. Some of our guests are very appreciative of the traditional rooms, while other guests prefer the contemporary architecture. It is quite nice that we can satisfy both tastes.
What is especially wonderful is that all of our rooms have the same spectacular view of the sea and the mountains. The interior design is unique in each room, with art and furniture made by Brazilian designers. The Master Suites tend to be the most popular with our guests. The Master Suite in the annex has a bathtub, while the one in the Colonial house has a balcony.”

Louis: “Our small hotel has a rooftop terrace that spans across the entire house. There is a swimming pool, which is heated during the winter, and a bar that is open from Wednesday to Sunday. From the rooftop of the hotel the views of Rio are stunning, with a clear view of Guanabara Bay, Sugarloaf Mountain and the statue of Christ the Redeemer.
Breakfast is served every morning and our guests can also have lunch at the hotel until 4 pm. They have access to WiFi, and can partake in cooking classes, jujitsu classes (which are held offsite), capoeira classes, as well as painting classes. Sailing trips or massages can also be arranged. Of course, we are available to give recommendations on what to see and do in Rio de Janeiro.”
