Novotel RJ Porto Atlantico
A round-the-clock restaurant and outdoor pool
About this hotel
Novotel RJ Porto Atlantico sits near Museu do Amanhã in the restored port district, a taxi or rideshare ride from Piscinão de Ramos. The hotel's outdoor pool and hot tub give families a place to unwind after a day spent at the bay pool, and the 24/7 restaurant is a genuine convenience on evenings a Piscinão de Ramos trip runs later than planned. A 9.0 rating from over four and a half thousand reviews confirms consistent guest satisfaction at this scale. Spa-wellness amenities round out the stay for parents wanting a proper recovery evening, and pet-friendly status extends the option to families travelling with a dog. The 24-hour restaurant in particular sets this property apart from most others on this list, a genuine safety net on the evenings a Piscinão de Ramos day runs later than the family planned.

Our take
This suits a family that values flexible dining hours and a reliable outdoor pool over a rock-bottom nightly rate, especially on a trip where a Piscinão de Ramos day might run past a normal dinner window. It's a less natural fit for the tightest budget travellers on this list. Book it specifically for the flexible dining hours if your itinerary is likely to run past a normal Rio dinner service some evenings.
- ✓Lean on the 24/7 restaurant if your Piscinão de Ramos day runs later than planned and standard dinner service has ended.
- ✓Confirm breakfast and parking costs upfront, since both are charged separately rather than included.
- ✓Book spa slots ahead for weekend evenings, when demand at this larger hotel tends to peak.

Why guests love itOur Piscinão de Ramos day ran much later than planned, and having a restaurant open around the clock back at the hotel saved us from a stressful search for dinner with two tired kids. The outdoor pool became the default wind-down spot most evenings, and the hot tub was a welcome bonus neither of us expected to use as much as we did. Breakfast cost extra, which we hadn't budgeted for at first, but the quality made up for it once we adjusted.
