We should mention
Parents or a legal guardian traveling with children under 18 years must present the child's birth certificate and an identity card with photo (passport, for example) at the check-in. For international travels to Brazil, if just one of the parents is traveling with the child, she/he must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorizing the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. In case the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorization, a judicial authorization is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before traveling for more information.

Very Good

We go to the hotel, somehow the lady at the check in took forever to check us in and didn’t say a word. The people next to us arrived later and was checked in way before and the guy gave them a ton of info. She gave sus the literally worst room, with a weird smell and everything. After complaining to the other guy, he was nice enough to change the room. At this point it was already midnight. When getting ready to finally sleep, while washing my face, I turned on the mirror and almost got myself unalived due to the electric shock, the thing exploded.
Finally someone at customer service in the hotel contacted me and sent someone to fix some of the things.
The location is great, the rooms are a disgrace. The pool is very nice but with such limited space and the beach is also with limited space and you need to rent your own chair/umbrella.
I visit Rio 2x year for the last 30 years. I always stay at the Rio Othon Palace and received VIP upgrades but for the last several years I have not received VIP upgrades. I don't know if the hotel no longer offers it or if Expedia has this erroneously advertised. Check in used to be on the 22nd floor but not any longer. Great hotel otherwise.
Great room, great location. Amazing view from the rooftop pool/bar.
My only concern is with communication from Othon. According to the Othon we page and Othon app, the front desk is 24 hours. But according to the email I received from them they say the check in desk closes at 11:30pm. Which is it?
Since our flight was arriving late I thought I would confirm that the check in desk would be open. I tried calling, I tried email, I tried chat on the Othon app, I tried WhatsApp. I got no response (zero) from anyone at Othon on none of these communications channels.
Turns out the desk is open 24 hours, which is great but why does the email say something different and why didn't anyone answer my question?
