Known as Day to family and friends, I have lived in four countries, visited more than 40 countries and 190 cities, and speak seven languages. Growing up in a richly multicultural family has given me a lifelong curiosity about people, cultures, and the many different ways we experience the world.

An engineer by training with a love of art, history, fashion, design, music, and travel, I enjoy creating beautiful spaces where guests can feel at home while discovering the magic of Rio de Janeiro.

Together with my family—my mother and my two boys—we love welcoming guests from around the world. Whether you’re visiting Rio for adventure, relaxation, or simply to experience a new culture, we hope you’ll feel less like a visitor and more like a friend.

Welcome to our boutique hotel. We look forward to sharing our little corner of this marvelous city with you.
