An art deco masterpiece, Belmond Copacabana Palace is the crown jewel on the world's most iconic beach. Since its doors swung open in 1923, this landmark hotel has entertained the rich and the famous. A hive of activity, this is the spot to mix with Brazil’s elite over caipirinhas. What’s more, it’s the best seat in the house for Rio’s theatrical highlights: the spirited spring carnival and firework-flecked new year.

Our group stayed at the Copacabana Palace for the final leg of our 40-day global sports tour, and it was the perfect place to wrap up an unforgettable journey. The hotel overlooks the iconic Copacabana Beach a dream location for any sports enthusiast. We spent our mornings playing volleyball right on the beach and watching local football matches nearby, with the ocean as our backdrop. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our group’s sporting schedule, even arranging early breakfasts before surf lessons and helping us find local gyms. The rooms were luxurious, with views of the beach and Christ the Redeemer. The hotel’s restaurant, Cipriani, served incredible Brazilian-Italian fusion meals that fuelled us up after long days of sport and adventure. We especially appreciated how eco-friendly and community-oriented the hotel is they support local youth sports programs and sustainability initiatives, which fit perfectly with our company’s mission. Overall: 10/10 experience ideal for travellers who want both luxury and a genuine connection to Rio’s sporting culture. Highly recommended for future Sport Tourism Adventures tours!

This hotel goes above and beyond in their service. From the bellboys to housekeeping, the entire staff was friendly and very conscientious of how they performed their duties. The breakfast is amazing and the staff and service - better everyday than any restaurant we dined at during our trip.

This was our first time at the hotel but hopefully not our last. The team was great from the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out and the setting/location is incredible.

We travel to Rio at least once a year and always enjoy our stay at the Copacabana Palace. It’s a place that you can relax after a long trip or a day sightseeing. The hotel restaurants are outstanding and the pool area is a great place to relax for drinks or a meal. We always enjoy the MEE restaurant. The rooms are impeccable and the service friendly.
