Totally enjoyed my stay in late April/early May. Was traveling on business and the location couldn't have been better. The city view room was a tad small, but fine for a single business traveler. Everything was spotless and the bathroom was plenty roomy. Loved having my breakfast by the pool every morning.. your choice inside or out. WiFi worked without... More

The hotel is beautiful! The rooms are perfect and the service also very good. People from the hotel is very helpful. The swimming pool is great! I love to stay there. It was my second time. You can walk to Arpoador in the afternoon to see the sunset. After this you can go to Colombo in Copacabana Fort. It's amazing!... More

The best hotel in Rio is in the image of its city: gorgeous location, iconic building, beautiful rooms (especially those in the back building), inefficient and lackadaisical service. By international standards, the location and building are 5-star+, the service is (barely) 4-star. Great breakfast and week-end buffets.i

For the price we paid the least I expected on arrival and departure was somebody to help us with our luggage but nobody did, 4 members of security staff even watched us struggle out past the pool area on our departure. We had a number of issues with the hotel during our stay including noise from the bar downstairs which... More

Excellent boutique-type hotel with spacious rooms and a stone's throw from the world famous Copacabana beach. Service was above par, the breakfast spread was simply scrumptious and they even flew the Malaysian flag during my stay - truly amazing!

I had the great luck of staying for a whole week at the recently renovated Copacabana Palace and I must admit that I quite enjoyed my time there! The hotel is spectacular. The rooms are quite spacious and very clean. The best part of my stay was the breakfasts at La Pergula. The buffet was quite elaborate and fresh. The... More

Best hotel in Rio by a mile. Perfect location on the beach and 5* service throughout. A colonial feel with a modern twist (eg Havianas in room). Expensive but then high end luxury is. Price is at the very top end but all other services more thank make up for it
