At the end of Leblon beach, the Sheraton Grand Rio is off set from the busy Copacabana-Ipanema zone, although visible from any place on the beach and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The beach is near-private, and guests of the 539 rooms have access to a vast pool complex, spa, tennis courts, four quality restaurants, a posh bar, dedicated kids areas with childcare service and a free shuttle to area attractions.
