Rio is quite pleasant in June. Temps are usually around mid-20s during the day, and humidity is quite a bit less than during Southern Summer. I've heard good things about the Belmond and Fairmont properties there, but not stayed. Most recent stay was at the Grand Hyatt in Barra when it had just opened. It is a nice high-end chain hotel, but not exactly luxury, and a bit further out from the main areas of Copacabana/Ipanema (although I personally prefer the Barra area for being a bit quieter).
