Four Seasons has unveiled plans for the Four Seasons Hotel Rio de Janeiro at Leblon, opening in 2029.

Set along Rio’s vibrant Leblon beach, the upcoming Hotel will occupy the tallest building in the area, featuring approximately 120 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,” remarked Alejandro Reynal, President and CEO, Four Seasons.

“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,” said Alfredo Khouri Junior, Founding Partner of Catuaí Asset which is partnering with Four Seasons on the development. “This project builds on our longtime dedication to developing exceptional offerings in Brazil, which we are proud to do alongside Four Seasons.”

Four Seasons Hotel Rio de Janeiro at Leblon will feature multiple culinary experiences, from a stunning rooftop bar and pool overlooking the Atlantic to a signature restaurant celebrating locally inspired cuisine and international classics. Guests will further enjoy award-winning spa and wellness amenities and an array of beachfront activities.

The property is located a 30-minute drive from Rio de Janeiro/Galeão International Airport.
