Belmond Copacabana Palace

Most famous classical hotel in Rio. Celebrities and royalty have stayed in this iconic place. You can go for just breakfast lunch or dinner or use the pool/spa area. Popular for Premium events and weddings

Stayed here for 3 nights recently. A beautiful piece of architecture and great service. Breakfast was lovely and the waiters most attentive and polite. However we did find the person demanding our room number at breakfast in a surly manner somewhat out of place . Concierge service was adequate, have experienced better. Our room was on the 4 th floor with a magnificent view of the Copacabana. I would stay here again!

I use to stay here many years ago when it was still a grand hotel but things did not always work. Since the Orient Express upgrade and now with Belmond running the place it is working like a fine tuned machine. They offered me an upgrade for a pretty hefty fee to the Penthouse Suite. There are 6 of them on the 6th floor and they are large and beautiful. Mine 603 had an incredible balcony with lounge chairs and table overlooking the beach. The room is large with a separate living room and large bedroom. Bathroom is great with a huge soaking tub with a view of the beach, and separate shower. The room has plenty of storage space. The art work and furniture make you feel like a VIP. They responded well to my requests like extra ice and turndown service. There is a separate pool for just the sixth floor. It is small and not heated but it gets the sun all day in the winter. The hotels pool is also great. It is very large and heated, unfortunately in winter it does not get a lot of sun but if you pick the right seat you can get an hour or so of sun. The complimentary breakfast was good with nice options. The health cub and spa are both very nice. Location is great and it was an easy walk to the metro. I loved Meea, the Japanese restaurant. The service from the Concierge and desk staff was great.

This is the second time when we stayed in this iconic hotel and it was wonderful. Being a part of the Belmond group the expectation is set very high and I can assure you the hotel is fabulous. We stay in a suite with the view of the Copacabana Beach in the newer building. The suite was very specious and beautifully decorated, the view was lovely and the bed very comfy. The bathroom was luxurious so were the toiletries. We loved the service, the food and the location. All the members of staff are helpful. We will definitely be back.

A peaceful and classic, yet fashionable haven within Rio! The Palace has a grand courtyard, great for relaxing and having breakfast by the heated pool. The breakfast selection is plentiful, from exotic fruits to delicious pastries and many hot options. The Copa is a surefire way of experiencing the highly elusive old school glamour of Rio de Janeiro that captures the imagination of all those who visit the city. Staff are very friendly and customer service is exceptional! A very special thank you to Luciano Ruperti, who was a most knowledgable concierge. We also appraise the great service provided by Everton at the front desk. Of the three restaurants the Mee restaurant provided the best options for vegetarian dining. Unfortunately the Cipriani restaurant, while a wonderful setting did not provide adequate flexibility to accommodate vegetarians. In summary- The Copa truly is the place to stay in Rio for a luxurious break. Recommended even above Fasano - the more expensive alternative in Ipanema. p.s. DO- Visit Momo Gelateria (at the front entrance of the hotel) and try the Passionfruit DONT- Visit Beco de Garrafes (around the corner to the hotel) or go to Bottles bar
