What CDesign Hotel does

CDesign Hotel is a four-star superior urban beachfront resort located at Av. Lúcio Costa, 17360 in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The property encompasses 278 apartments distributed across three blocks (with 55 suites including standard, deluxe, master, and master flat categories) featuring super king beds, many with balconies and Atlantic Ocean views. The hotel is housed in a building with award-winning wave-inspired architecture by Casé Lima and Gabriel Castro, recognized at the Master Imobiliário 2015 and featured at the Venice Architecture Biennale; interiors were designed by Carlos Boeschenstein using Vitra fixtures and Italian lighting. The legal entity, C Design Hotel Empreendimentos Imobiliários SPE LTDA, operates under a co-ownership (condo-hotel/SPE) structure with individual investors holding units.

The business operates an integrated hospitality platform combining core accommodations, the Nalu beachfront restaurant (open to public with international cuisine including Italian Night and Feijoada traditions), a 700 m² event space with a 300-person auditorium and five modular meeting rooms, a full-service spa with chromotherapy jacuzzi, and a rooftop infinity pool overlooking Recreio Sea and Pedra do Pontal. Ancillary revenue is generated through Day Use access, bridal and groom preparation packages, romance and honeymoon packages, birthday discounts (10%), investor rates (15%), and adventure activities via partner Rio Ecoesporte (surfing, kitesurfing, jeep tours, paragliding).

Distribution runs through direct channels (website, phone, WhatsApp) and the Omnibees online travel agency platform, with the website offered in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Marketing emphasizes content via the company blog, Instagram presence, and promotional packages targeting families, couples, corporate/event clients, and celebration/occasion segments. The CDesign Experience loyalty program integrates all services for returning guests. The hotel employs 92 staff and complies with Brazil's LGPD data protection law (Law No. 13.709/2018). The annual investor assembly is scheduled for March 30, 2026, signaling ongoing operational governance.
