Marques Jardim Botanico
Genteel colonial mansion meets modernist Brazilian design. Serene, arboreal, and adult-only. More like staying in a very well-curated private estate than a hotel.
The property can be booked as a whole 6-bedroom villa sleeping up to 12 guests — ideal for a group takeover
Why It Matters
The garden and pool are a Roberto Burle Marx office design, an association that instantly elevates the property. It's also a listed historical monument — the Castelinho do Corcovado — with direct views of Christ the Redeemer and Guanabara Bay from your terrace.
A 19th-century mansion — the Castelinho do Corcovado, built in 1870 and one of the first grand houses of Zona Sul — renovated in 2014 into a seven-suite boutique hotel. Sister property to Casa Marques Santa Teresa, same French-Brazilian aesthetic: classic elegance, minimalist modernist suites, and all of them opening onto private terraces with views of the pool, the garden, Guanabara Bay, and Corcovado. The garden and pool were designed by the office of Roberto Burle Marx, which gives the whole place a lushness that makes the city feel very far away.
Where You'll Stay
2 room types available
Suite with Terrace
All suites open directly onto private terraces overlooking the Roberto Burle Marx-designed garden and pool, with views extending to Guanabara Bay and/or Corcovado. Interiors follow the same minimalist modernist playbook as the sister Santa Teresa property: clean lines, Brazilian contemporary art, and artisan-made rugs. Flat-screen TVs and room service included.
Whole Villa (Full House Rental)
The entire property — 6 bedrooms, sleeping up to 12 guests — can be rented as a single booking. This is the same Castelinho mansion with all amenities including both the indoor and outdoor pools, garden, sundeck, library, restaurant, and full staff. Dwell listed the rate at around $3,016/night for the full villa.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
A billiards table is available for guests within the property.
The estate garden was laid out by the office of Roberto Burle Marx, one of the most influential landscape designers in Brazilian history. Walking the grounds is itself an experience — tropical planting, sinuous forms, and the pastoral calm that sits improbably within the city.
Covered pool for year-round use, separate from the outdoor garden pool.
The outdoor pool is set within the Roberto Burle Marx-designed garden, framed by tropical planting. Views of the surrounding greenery and, depending on weather, glimpses of Corcovado.
An on-site lending library for guests — a welcome alternative to screen time in the afternoon heat.
