Edited to ask if this hotel provides bath robes.
Second on the robes. If you don't get one in the room, ask them. This is a pretty amazing property not only in terms of the location but also their service.
I used an atm to get some BRL. Word of warning - Brazilian atm's are a huge pain so rely on your cc heavily. Most of them will not take international atm cards. Ofcourse the ones in airports and hotels work better with international cards but the fee is very high. IIRC, the bank atm on lower level of Renaissance charged me $7 fee on single transaction.
