The elegant 5-star Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Rio de Janeiro offers luxurious rooms with marbled bathrooms and panoramic ocean views, located on Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beachfront. Services include a wellness spa and 3 gastronomic restaurants.

The building is a classic . The stuff of dreams . The room was enormous with a view of the beach . Everything was thought of and the housekeeping was exceptional . The bed was super comfy . The pool area is elegant and a wonderful place to watch the world go by . I dined in Pergola and Ciprianis. Both were excellent . The breakfast is world class and every possible item is available . But what makes this hotel truly exceptional is the PEOPLE. The personal touches , the attentive but not overbearing service . Quiet efficiency everywhere and nothing is too much trouble . I have stage in two six star hotels and have NEVER felt so well looked after . As a woman travelling alone that says everything

    Our stay with Claudio was nothing short of exceptional. As first-time visitors to Rio, we were delighted that we chose to avoid staying in Copacabana. Our host not only helped guide our choice of excursions but endowed us with his outstanding knowledge of Rio. Our accommodation was spotless and extremely comfortable, a real home from home. Apart from the amazing sights of Rio, the highlight of every day was breakfast, which is a culinary tour de force. The location is great and the property superb.

    This is a beautiful Hotel which exudes style. Marcello the owner is lovely and very kind and good company. This is a hotel that has a deep Brazilian cultural heritage for Achitecture and design/ music. You feel like you're in a James Bond film here. The chefs are superb as are the rest of the staff. This really cemented our love for Rio and Brazil. Where you stay- absolutely matters. This is one place you should make time to stay at. When I visit Brazil again i'll be staying here.

    Lovely hotel in an amazing location right on Copacabana Beach. Everything was as expected for a hotel of this caliber. The best location on the beach with beautiful views of the promenade from rooftop pool area. Booked last minute and they accommodated an early check in and free room upgrade which was appreciated. Very spacious room which was spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished. 5 stars to the water pressure too! Staff are friendly and professional.
