Location
In historic Santa Teresa, close to the airport but a drive away from the beach
Hotel Santa Teresa MGallery by Sofitel is located (as the name suggests) in Santa Teresa, a beautiful, historic area with gorgeous old buildings, museums, historic sights, and art galleries. But it's around a 20-minute drive away from Rio's beaches.Rio de Janeiro's beaches are a major draw. Practically year-round, beaches are crowded with visitors and locals. The beaches not only provide a space for lounging, surfing, and swimming, but many hang-gliders and para-gliders -- popular sports in Rio de Janeiro due to its high mountains and good wind conditions -- land on the white sand or in the water. Visitors wishing to stay near the beaches typically choose the South Zone (Zona Sul), which is home to the majority of the city's hotels.- 9-minute drive to Rio de Janeiro-Galeao International Airport, or 18 minutes via public transportation
