I booked the Copacabana Palace for a romantic diversion with my boyfriend. After working in Sao Paulo, I flew into Rio with high expectations of days with nothing but beach, bikini, and bailar. Rio was gorgeous and when I pulled up in front of the hotel, all was as promised. It was exquisite and breathtaking! Check in was a little... More

We stayed at this hotel for a weekend at the pool/ ocean view suite in order to attend Confederation cup on Sunday, and despite of the high price of that weekend, we had a great stay. First, this historic hotel has a great location right in the middle of the Copacabana beach and the view from the room, despite being... More

Great service in the 'Grande Dame' of Rio. Bedrooms and public areas are immaculate and the service discreet but attentive. The service on the beach (iced water, fruit, chairs and towels) was excellent. The Cipriani restaurant served an excellent dinner. The only downside - a very noisy corporate event on the balcony overlooking the pool one evening, but it finished... More

Stayed 3 nights at the hotel and really enjoyed the ocean-view room, breakfast at the poolside, dining at Cipriani restaurant,etc. The hotel itself was fantastic..no doubt!...but the service was a big turn-off. 1. Didn't get the New York Times in the morning which I requested when I checked-in at the hotel. I called the front desk twice, but the paper... More

The Copacabana Palace has a great history and tradition located directly on the magnificent Copacabana beach. We enjoyed our stay but there were a few criticisms. We were efficiently and swiftly checked-in by a Reception staff that seemed under pressure from a departing wedding party which meant that the relatively small Reception Area was chaotic and the Front Desk staff...

Even though I used to live in Rio de Janeiro, I took my parents to the Copacabana Palace for a weekend. It is by far the best hotel in the city. Choice of Madonna, Bill Clinton, Mick Jagger, Halle Berry, Brad Pitt, and much, much more. You can expect the absolute best. Service, security, fluent english spoken staff, everything. It... More

From beginning to end of my stay in the Copa palace I was treated exceptionally well. It is by far the most attractive building on the sea front and an outpost of traditionalism. Personally I loved it because, aside from the obvious glamour and charm, there are no little extra 'addon' payments, like surcharges for drinking a coffee in the... More

Just returning from 5 days in Rio at this great hotel and can't wait to return. The location is great; I ran along the beach every morning and then swam laps in the beautiful swimming pool. This is a classic hotel with gracious service. We had a "city view" because no ocean front rooms were available. We booked at the... More
