Be our guest.
Be our friend.

As our doors open to you, you’ll receive a Brazilian warm welcome that turns strangers to friends. Everyone is equally welcome, whether staying for one night, a week, or for the duration of a whole project. Alone, as a couple, or with the family. Rioca is a place where life feels simple. In your apartment you can cook to your heart’s content, feel at home, and sink into a deep, rejuvenating sleep.

It has been some time since our founder, Amos, travelled to Rio completely exhausted and rediscovered life there. The tolerance for people from everywhere, the almost tangible love for life, and the natural warmth of the Cariocas turned Brazil into Amos’ second home. Rioca should be a place where people can encounter what he found in Rio: A home at a friend’s.

Rioca is aware of its responsibility to the environment and fellow human beings. That is why all our drinking water comes straight from the tap. We’ve been supporting the »Padre Dr. Francisco Motta« school by Rio’s harbour, which ensures around 1,100 children from the Favelas get a good education. Feel free to support us!
