Farme de Amoedo, 34, Ipanema,  Rio De Janeiro. Renovating the former Golden Tulip Ipanema Plaza hotel, this highly anticipated  property will be a first-of-its-kind luxury experience, just a few steps from Posto 9 the renowned gay section of Ipanema Beach. The surrounding neighborhood is known for its rainbow flags and  is one of the most legendary LGBTQ+ destinations in the world.

“Brazilian men. Ipanema Beach. Rooftop pool parties. That midnight glance that turns into a  sunrise rendezvous…with 24-hour room service. The Tryst Ipanema is creating a place you’ll  never want to leave,” said Tristan Schukraft, Founder & CEO of Tryst Hospitality. “Luxury is  about more than thread counts and the best rooftop pool. It’s about being your true self. It’s about  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.”
