Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Rio de Janeiro

Staying at the Copacabana Palace is a very special experience. The building is beautiful and one of the gems in Rio's crown. The service is fantastic, with friendly and helpful people ready to assist at all times, and great attention to detail. The rooms and suites are beautiful - understated, sophisticated luxury at its best - and it is very well worth choosing a room with an ocean view. The balcony doors in these rooms open, which is great - it allows guests to experience the sea air, sunshine and carioca life, rather than the sterile air-conditioned-only environments of so many luxury hotels. The history and the traditions of the hotel are carefully maintained, while every modern convenience is on offer. The bathrooms are wonderful, and stocked plentifully with Rio's famous Granado products. The food is exceptional too, from the breakfast buffet through to restaurant dining in the evening.

I loved everything about the hotel, the amazing facilities as well the kind and professional staff. What a beautiful & well managed hotel with a gorgeous lemony scent throughout the common areas. The bedding & the soft bath towels made our experience so dreamy. Furthermore, I’m yet to stay at a hotel as generous at The Copa, we were showered with so many gifts and treats that we had to buy a small suitcase to take some of it home. I’m so thankful that the team went an extra mile to make my birthday special with a delicious chocolate cake. Lastly, we were lucky enough to check-in in time to catch the Feijoada lunch & entertainment- it was a glorious start to our stay.

Experience highlights Sarah in the concierge team. She made our honeymoon so special. Her work ethic and kindness is more than extraordinary. Special thank to the hotel team that we could enjoy the pool view suite instead of the avenue view suite. We are really grateful for it. Housekeeping team are fantastic as well. Team member beyond expectations? Yes, Sarah in the concierge team. She is phenomenal. We’ve had so many questions during our stay and she was really helpful all the time. She is the main reason that we enjoyed our stay so much. Further comments Loved the new old money styled umbrellas at the pool area. Great design. The 100 years old brand is on spot.

- spotless customer service. I believe it is the best I have ever experienced - big spacious rooms, closets, bathrooms - convenient location in the heart of the Copacabana beach - very delicious breakfast with many options. Staff suggests a lot of new things to try. Very pleasant experience - 2 Michelin restaurants right on the hotel area

Hi personally I preferred staying at Ipenema beach at the Fasano but the copacabana palace is a iconic property and the rooms are very spacious and the restaurants are nice at this hotel.
