LSH Hotel

The LSH Hotel, located in the vibrant Barra da Tijuca neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was originally conceived as the Trump Hotel Rio de Janeiro in a collaboration between The Trump Organization and Brazilian developer LSH Barra. Announced in 2014, the hotel aimed to provide luxury accommodations with stunning ocean views, featuring 171 rooms, an infinity pool, and a large nightclub. Although it opened partially in August 2016, just before the Summer Olympics, construction delays led to the termination of Trump's management agreement, and the hotel was rebranded as LSH Barra Hotel. The project has faced scrutiny due to financial investigations and has struggled to attract guests, making it a noteworthy stop for tourists interested in contemporary architecture and the complexities of international hotel development.
