It is shown that a Gromov hyperbolic geodesic metric spaceXwith bounded growth at some scale is roughly quasi-isometric to a convex subset of hyperbolic space. If one is allowed to rescale the metric ofXby some positive constant, then there is an embedding where distances are distorted by at most an additive constant.Another embedding theorem states that any δ-hyperbolic metric space embeds isometrically into a complete geodesic δ-hyperbolic space.The relation of a Gromov hyperbolic space to its boundary is further investigated. One of the applications is a characterization of the hyperbolic plane up to rough quasi-isometries.
