A Legendary Location, Reimagined
Located at Rua Farme de Amoedo, 34, The Tryst Ipanema will breathe new life into the former Hotel Ipanema Plaza, a once-beloved property that closed in 2017. The building is being completely reimagined by Tryst Hospitality, known for creating inclusive, design-forward hotels that celebrate community, freedom, and joy.
More Than a Hotel — A Symbol of Belonging
What sets The Tryst Ipanema apart is its mission: to be a haven for LGBTQ+ travelers, where everyone is free to be themselves — no compromises, no explanations.
Guests can expect:
140 luxurious rooms and suites
A stunning rooftop infinity pool overlooking Ipanema Beach
A chic signature restaurant and lively drag brunches
A vibrant social atmosphere designed for connection
Commitment to sustainability and partnerships with local minority-owned businesses
Tryst’s vision goes beyond comfort — it’s about creating community in one of the most legendary LGBTQ+ neighborhoods in the world.
Ipanema’s LGBTQ+ Legacy
Ipanema, and especially Rua Farme de Amoedo, has long been a center of LGBTQ+ culture in Rio. With The Tryst Ipanema, this area will become even more of a global destination — combining the natural beauty of Rio with world-class hospitality built on inclusion, authenticity, and celebration.
Opening in 2026 – Stay Tuned
The Tryst Ipanema is expected to open in 2026, with construction already in motion. As excitement builds, this hotel is being hailed as a game-changer for LGBTQ+ tourism in Brazil — and beyond.
Whether you're planning your next beach escape, a romantic getaway, or your first trip to Brazil, The Tryst Ipanema promises to be more than just a place to stay — it's a place to belong.
