Saw reports on Facebook and online that the first phase of the renovation [the Ipanema Tower and pool] is now complete, and they’ve kicked off the second phase. I haven’t been able to piece together if the original plans to convert the Rio into multiple Hyatt brands is still in effect, or if they’re just lumping the whole thing into Destination by Hyatt, as different articles provide conflicting information and Hyatt hasn’t been clear about these plans of late.
If anyone has any intel or can check with the property on an upcoming visit, that would be much appreciated!
