Can anyone suggest a decent/good hotel in the Leblon area? I would like to be near the beach and have some good restaurants within walking distance.

I plan on doing some jiu jitsu training while I am in Rio for the weekend and am planing on training at:


Gracie Humaita
Address:
Rua Humaita 52,
Humaita, Rio de Janeiro
22261-001
Tel: 21-2266 6094


Brazilian Top Team
Address:
Clube Associação Atlética Banco do Brasil
Avenida Borges de Medeiros, 829 – Lagoa
Rio de Janeiro – RJ, 22430-041

I know that I will have to take taxis to and from but that is not a big deal. Other than this training, I plan on just hanging out. So, I want to be in a nice area where I can can just walk around and sit back in a bar and really unwind.

Thanks for the help.
