Tryst Hotels Adds Rio Location

Tryst Hotels Adds Rio Location. Puerto Vallarta LGBTQ+ travelers already know the name Tryst Hospitality, the brand behind the most buzzworthy luxury gay hotel in Mexico. After the star-studded opening of The Tryst Puerto Vallarta earlier this year, the company is taking its bold vision of luxury LGBTQ+ travel to Brazil with the announcement of The Tryst Ipanema, opening in 2026.

Tryst Hotels Adds Rio Location: The Next Chapter

Located at R. Farme de Amoedo, 34, in the heart of Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro, the property will rise 18 stories above the golden sands and legendary gay beach at Posto 9. The former Golden Tulip Ipanema Plaza will be transformed into the largest Tryst Hotel in the world, with 140 rooms designed by the same award-winning team behind The Tryst Puerto Vallarta.

With its rooftop infinity pool, signature restaurant, and world-class nightlife, The Tryst Ipanema will blend five-star service with unapologetic celebration—just like its Puerto Vallarta sister property, where pool parties, cabaret, and drag brunches have already redefined what a gay hotel can be.

What Guests Can Expect in Rio

• Rooftop Pool & Bar: Poolside glamour with sweeping views of Ipanema Beach, complete with Tryst’s iconic dancers and global DJs.

• Signature Restaurant: Brazilian flavors meet international inspiration, plus drag brunches showcasing local and international talent.

• Mindful Luxury: Eco-conscious design, no single-use plastics, and partnerships with local minority-owned businesses.

As Tristan Schukraft, Founder & CEO of Tryst Hospitality, explains why Tryst Hotels adds Rio location:

“Luxury is about more than thread counts and rooftop pools—it’s about being your true self. Waking up in Ipanema, the gayest beach in the world, surrounded by sexy men and knowing you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.”

Tryst’s Growing Global Footprint

The Tryst Ipanema announcement comes as Tryst Hospitality continues to make waves in Puerto Vallarta and beyond:

• The Tryst Puerto Vallarta opened earlier this year with what many called the most glamorous hotel debut of the decade, instantly becoming a cornerstone of the city’s gay nightlife and luxury travel scene.

• The Tryst Fire Island is slated to open next season, bringing a new energy to Fire Island Pines.

• The Tryst San Juan will launch in 2026, along with the much-anticipated reopening of Circo Nightclub in Puerto Rico.

Why It Matters for Puerto Vallarta Travelers

For LGBTQ+ travelers who have already experienced the sophisticated energy of The Tryst Puerto Vallarta, Tryst Hotels adds Rio location represents the brand’s continued commitment to creating luxury spaces in iconic gay destinations. With Puerto Vallarta, Fire Island, San Juan, and now Rio de Janeiro, Tryst is building a global network where travelers can find high-end hospitality, community, and celebration.
