Americans, those with more dollars, less time and even less inclination to use their grey cells end up the JW Marriott. Regrettably, I fell into that category. For starters, if you're there for business, note that the rooms are not WiFi enabled. They do have a cable connection but it isn't of any use if your computer does not have... More

Great location of the hotel, just across the street from Copacabana Beach. Also easy access to all the touristic or business centers.
