Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Location, luxury, limelight...

The Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Hotel is located just steps from Ipanema Beach, in Copacabana district, and under the majestic gaze of Sugar Loaf Mountain.

This luxury hotel is an oasis – inspired by the 1950s glamour carioca and features 10 rooms which have a balcony as well as Gold rooms offering a private lounge and exclusive services. Rooms are decorated with tones of blue, inspired by the bright blue Copacabana sea out front.

Onsite there are two swimming pools, a fitness centre, sauna, spa restaurant, bars and meeting rooms. On the doorstep are antique fairs and plenty of leisure options such as surfing and stand up paddle boarding. Of note is the ‘hippie fair’ which takes place every Sunday and where you can find typical Brazilian products.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor

The trip exceeded my expectations and was the best family holiday I have ever had. Our children simply loved it and now I know more about African wildlife than they do about our own farm animals.
