Where to sleep in Rio de Janeiro — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Ipanema — the effortless cool
The prettier beach, the safest polish, sunset at Arpoador rock.
Copacabana — the grand old wave
The famous crescent and its mosaic sidewalk — faded glamour, full energy.
Leblon — the quiet money
Ipanema's calmer neighbor with the best restaurants.
Santa Teresa — the bohemian hill
Tram-lane mansions, ateliers and samba views over downtown.
