The 298-room Hilton Barra has opened in Rio
de Janeiro. It is the brand's first hotel in Rio.
The hotel's sleek design includes a lobby
entrance 100 feet high that when illuminated at night resembles a giant glass
box shining throughout the property.
The Hilton is close to Olympic Park, beaches
and entertainment and shopping areas.
Facilities include the
rooftop Champagne House bar and outdoor pool. There are energy-efficient sensors in
each guest room.
