Large venue, with good structure and several options for holding events of different sizes and purposes.
At the front of the property, next to the street, there is a small and charming hall of ancient architecture, well preserved, which can accommodate around 100 people, ideal for a wedding party or ceremony that requires some pomp.
There is a small paid parking lot with a very limited capacity for vehicles, but nearby there are two other parking lots (by Estapar, if I'm not mistaken) that can be used.
Further on, a small open and covered area next to the canteen, facing the pool, allows for an informal meeting for a group of up to 15 people.
Finally, after the swimming pool and above the sports gym, there is a giant hall, very well structured, cooled and well lit, with capacity for up to 800 people.
This hall has two bathrooms, emergency exit, kitchen, small space reserved for cake or exhibitors, stage with scenographic structure of curtain and dressing rooms.
It has side balconies, an elevator and a reception room one floor below the hall entrance, at the end of the access stairs.
Unfortunately, this whole structure ends up being overshadowed by the administration, which is not very transparent with the potential public that rents the salon. It is necessary to pay attention to some details to avoid unpleasantness.
The kitchen only uses the club's buffet service, which is not unanimously approved by those who have already used it.
The elevator, to be available on the day of the event, also requires a significant amount more in rent and this fact is not mentioned at any time when the hall is presented to you, using the elevator. You will only know on the day of your event that it will not be turned on and that you will have to climb all the equipment, and you will see your guests (even those who are elderly or have limited mobility) also climb a staircase approximately 8 meters high ( the lounge is over a sports gymnasium, with triple height) to have access to the lounge.
It is a pity that such a well-equipped place, with a good location (close to the subway, Tijuca, Centro, red line, Lagoa, Laranjeiras, Lapa and Botafogo), has such a careless attitude in customer service.
Anyway, for anyone interested in holding an event there, I recommend it, as long as you keep in mind that you must be patient and prepare for small surprises that may arise.
