I was only here for two days but found the staff to be helpful pleasant. The location is outstanding. The food was good and the accommodations very comfortable. My room was a good size with a very comfortable bed and a really great shower. It's not inexpensive but given the location and service it's understandable.

Sofitel is located at the beginning of the Copacabana, right across the Fortress. Spectacular view if you have a front side room. Having breakfast in the morning, outside on the restaurant terrace is absolutely a highlight. Hotel infrastructure is outdated, prices are high, Rio-like ...

The hotel is conveniently located at the junction of Copacobana and Ipanema Beaches as well as the Copacobana Historical Museum across the street. Our room faced the pool, but we could hear the ocean with the sliding door open. Note-with the slider open, the AC is disabled. Great location. Excellent staff and wonderful food.

My stay at the Sofitel, Copacabana was not bad at all on the whole, but certainly not worth the 500 dollars, or more, per night which I paid for a very average size room. There were lots of plus points: the small balcony with a seaview, the service provided by the concierge, the quality of food at breakfast etc. However,... More

Not everything about this hotel is poor but after staying 4 nights my overall feeling was one of huge disappointment. I hoped to be dazzled by Rio (which I was) and I hoped to be dazzled by this Sofitel (and I most definitely wasn't). This is an expensive hotel living off the fact that it has a fantastic location with... More

Stayed 4 nights for a conference in mid-May. Hotel is nice but would not consider it a 5-star. Location is good, just across the street from the beach. Staff was polite. The room was ok, decent size, and nice small balcony with partial view of the ocean. Bathroom was spacious; I particularly liked the shower’s water pressure. Safebox was a... More

This is not a 5 star hotel. Rooms are tatty, the black masking tape fell off the bath as I opened the sliding doors, it smells musty. Staff appear helpful but actually are not. I left my phone charger there when i left on business for another hotel in area, and was told on phone they wld email me to... More

don't expect a sofitel here; it's old, worn out and lacks the spirit of a Sofitel; the location makes up for it; restaurant is very good, go for the lunch buffet and the breakfast; also enjoy life music at the bar; prices are well over the top, but, then again, you are at the CC!

I travel very frequently to Rio de Janeiro due to business reasons. I always try to stay at Caesar Park Ipanema but this time the rate was outrageous and I decided to stay at Sofitel. I could not have made a better choice. The room was spacious, had a great panoramic view of Copacabana beach and the air-conditioning although faulty... More
