About the Apart 69

Historic Glória and Santa Teresa districts in the south zone of Rio offer you the opportunity to turn off from the symptoms of this mad materialistic world by experiencing up to 200 steps at the Apart Hostel "Stairway to Heaven". The view is just breathtaking and you can have the full privacy of your own ledgeso as to have a natural open shower baptizing yourself under one of Rio de Janeiro´s most marvelous views: Guanabara Bay´s sun or stars. All apartments/villas are equipped with fridge, microwave, sofa, table, private bathrooms, hammocks and air conditioning.

Apart Hostel Stairway to Heaven 69 is part of our Cultural Center Baixo Santa do Alto Glória (www.baixosantadoaltogloria.com.br) which is an official MinC (Brazilian Ministry of Culture) Ponto de Cultura (Culture Point) which is unique for any tourist visiting in Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. This is because aside from enjoying all the marvels the city of Rio has to offer, you will benefit from watching the Capoeira, theater and sculpture classes the center has to offer, we can even enroll you to participate if you wish. The center also offers a cool nightclub/bar where parties are held for the beautiful people of Rio de Janeiro allowing you to meet interesting people. All kinds of sounds are played at the 5000 square feet (aproximately 500 square meters) double lounge from international to local rythms that will allow you to enjoy your time even more.

You will have access to the internet at our exclusive cyber and also be able to make international calls whenever needed.
