Set along Rio’s vibrant Leblon beach, the upcoming Four Seasons Rio de Janeiro hotel will occupy the tallest building in the area, featuring approximately 120 well-appointed rooms and suites enjoying panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Before opening as a Four Seasons experience in 2029, the existing structure, known locally as Hotel Marina Palace, will undergo a complete renovation that will transform its vintage façade and interiors into a landmark luxury hospitality destination.
“We are excited to introduce Four Seasons to Rio de Janeiro as we continue to intentionally expand our portfolio in South America and mark our return to Brazil,” said Alejandro Reynal, President and CEO, Four Seasons. “We are proud to embark on this journey alongside Catuaí Asset to bring this project to life. Together, our shared commitment to unparalleled service, thoughtful design, and immersive guest experiences will elevate the luxury hospitality offerings in this world-renowned destination.”
“Bringing the iconic Marina Palace back to life – this time with a globally renowned brand such as Four Seasons – and delivering a landmark for the city that can endure for generations is a powerful motivation for us. This project builds on our longtime dedication to developing exceptional offerings in Brazil, which we are proud to do alongside Four Seasons,” added Alfredo Khouri Junior, Founding Partner of Catuaí Asset.
