Belmond Copacabana Palace

This really is a special place to stay, an art-deco landmark with views right over the famous Copacabana beach. Our welcome was warm and helpful, our room was a classic beauty right at the front of the building (but giving us peaceful nights as well as glorious sunrises), and the food, service and stunning pool were all First Class. A faultless stay and we can't wait to return to enjoy all those small details that make Belmond stand out.

Under construction with a sh*** ton of noise. Pool unusable. Many of the rooms have construction noise. Very disappointing.

Copacabana Palace truly feels like a home away from home. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome and completely at ease. Everyone was attentive, warm, and professional, always ready to help with a smile. The service is flawless, the atmosphere is elegant yet comfortable, and every detail shows care. I left already wanting to come back.

the rooms are a little old but are big, have nice view and everything was perfect. The staff at the hotel made our stay amazing, they were always very attentive, diligent and nice to solve any question we had.

The Copacabana Palace feels less like a hotel and more like a pause in time — a sanctuary where light, service, and serenity move in perfect rhythm. Every detail carries intention. Every interaction holds a quiet grace. From the calm of the suites to the gentle choreography of the staff, the entire experience feels curated with a rare kind of hospitality — one that lingers long after you leave. It is a place where Rio softens, where the world slows, and where you are reminded how beautiful true luxury can be.
