The Trump Hotel Collection has announced the opening of its first property in South America with the Trump Hotel Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

Located in the Jardim Oceanico district of the city and overlooking the beach, the 171-bedroom Trump Rio will be the only luxury hotel in the vicinity when it opens in 2016.

Brazilian developer LSH Barra SA is building the R$200m (£50.8m, US$83m, €61.4m) project with the help of development consultant Polaris Brazil which has worked on a variety of hospitality ventures including the Rio Convention Centre.

A number of design firms have also been named including WATG, which has designed the architectural concept with interiors by Rockwell Group and landscape architecture by Witkin-Hults Design Group.

There will be more than 4,000sq ft (371sq m) of wellness facilities, including a 2,200sq ft (204sq m) spa offering a range of massage therapies and treatments in addition to a fitness centre.

Other amenities include a 4,000sq ft (371sq m) pool deck with private cabanas overlooking an infinity pool, a nightclub and 10,000sq ft (929sq m) of meeting and event space.

“With the Barra da Tijuca hosting most of the venues of the 2016 Summer Olympics as well as Jardim Oceanico’s perfect mix of modernity and nature, the area is poised to emerge as the heart of Rio de Janeiro,” said Donald Trump, executive vice president of development and acquisitions of The Trump Organisation. “This is an exciting time to develop our first project in South America and the perfect location to do so.”
