Hilton Rio de Janeiro Copacabana

As a Hilton Gold member, I throughly enjoyed my short stay at this incredible property, located on such a prime location on the Copacabana Beach! Prior to my arrival, I had corresponded with Alina A, the Guest Service Manager, and she was very helpful with upgrading my room type and arranging an ocean front view room! Upon arrival, I was welcomed by Wellington who too such great care of me, as although I was only a Hilton Gold member and not a Diamond, he went above and beyond by upgrading me to a beautiful Executive Room with club access and incredible views!! Shout out to Heros who warmly welcomed me and handled my luggage upon arrival, as my room wasn't ready yet, and as I had misplaced a valuable item, he was INCREDIBLY helpful with ensuring it was promptly found!! I truly appreciate his kindness and warm and gracious hospitality! Thank you to Beatriz from the executive club, who was so hospitable in the club and was very helpful with communication via WhatsApp. While there was an issue with my room during my stay, and I needed to switch rooms, it was promptly addressed by management, and I am very appreciative of Jorge who assisted me during my stay, as well as Renata Ohiro, who followed up via email after my stay! I highly recommend this property, truly appreciate the exceptional staff who pride themselves on taking such great care of their guests, and very much look forward too returning to this prime location on Rio's magnificent Copacabana Beach!

We are Diamond level and they sent us to a special lounge for check in. Rogerio took good care of us. He gave us water and snacks and this was in a special lounge with soft drinks, ice, snacks (all day). They serve breakfast but I'd suggest going to the main dining room (more choices). Either was included for us, and if it's not included, then lounge area would be adequate. Happy Hour 5:30 to 7:30 daily. We did go both days for drinks and snacks. The chocolate cake with cream cheese icing is amazing as well as the all chocolate cake. Champagne and several liquor choices. Snacks were good and adequate. I like the small quail boiled eggs. Rafael was amazing and very helpful. He gives great Hugs. The 2nd day we got Beatriz in the lounge and she was amazing. She called the Harley Davidson place to check for shirts and they emailed us so we knew they had what we were looking for. It was great since it was an hour cab ride and we didn't want to do that unless we knew they had them. Cabs are outside hotel, but get them to contact so you know you get a reputable one. We took one to the mall first night, which is close enough if you are used to walking, but...Lots of restaurants, gelato ice cream and shops (I had not brought open toed shoes and needed a pair of Havaianas to visit Christ the Redeemer). 2nd Night we walked around corner for pizza. We then went to the Rooftop bar for a drink and had sorbet. It was dark so earlier might be better for view, although we had a view from our room. There is a Souvenir shop within walking (800 feet) and a drugstore next door. The view was amazing. We were on the 35th Floor. (Yikes) but we had a beach view and the Christ statue was to the right. We did not go to the beach, but the hotel has umbrellas and chairs if you want to go. All in all, a great experience: convenient location, beautiful views and we would stay again if we ever get back to Rio.

Large, busy hotel on Copocabana beach with plenty of bars, restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Room was functional, spacious and clean with a comfortable bed. We were on 17th floor and had a beautiful 180 degree sea view. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice and Gilson made perfect omelettes to order. However the breakfast restaurant was always very busy and noisy. My tip would be to sit outside where it is quieter. The only downside is that this is a typical busy city hotel with 39 floors with conferences taking place as well as many tourists. It takes a while to get a lift, the 2 pools are quite small and there are limited sunbeds. There are free sunbeds on the beach.

My wife and I stayed at the Hilton Rio de Janiero Copacabana in early March both as part of a tour and then two days on our own. Both reservations were for an ocean view room, and the hotel management allowed us to keep the same room, which was very convenient. The hotel is located across the street from the beach, and the view from our room was great. We had great service - from the wait staff at the restaurant and at the 39th floor lounge, the concierge service, housekeeping. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the buffet breakfast - a large selection of breakfast items with made-to-order eggs. The room had a mini-bar with ample room for your own items. Just FYI - Uber was around 112 reals to the airport, but this varies depending on the time of day. We would definitely consider staying the on a return trip.

Hilton Honors Diamond member service at the executive lounge was one of the best we have experienced!
