Lately there has been a whole push in Rio for boutique hotels. I've never stayed in any, but from the pictures, they do look adorable and totally worthwhile, even though most are a bit off the traditional beach path...
Rua Jackson Figueiredo 501, Joá
I visited this hotel once, since this is where I'll be staying on my wedding night.
LOVED the scenery and the rooms, which are themed by colors.
