Rio de Janeiro Hotel: Copacabana Palace Hotel

Located right on Copacabana beach, the Copacabana Palace is South America's most famous hotel and has welcomed the rich and famous since 1923. There are 146 suites and 75 “standard” rooms, although in reality they are far from standard.

The hotel also boasts a magnificent semi-Olympic size swimming pool, without a doubt the finest in Rio, and a tennis court. Water sports nearby include surfing and bodyboarding. It is also possible to cruise and snorkel around the offshore islands as well as play golf, beach volleyball, beach football (soccer), and other sports.

Description

The oceanfront 5-star Copacabana Palace Hotel is located amongst the top accommodations and restaurants in all of Rio de Janeiro, and graciously lives up to the respected Orient-Express hotel group name. Its suites are designed by renowned French designer Michel Jouannet, and balcony views look out over all of Copacabana, one of the most famous views in the world.

Within the Copacabana Palace’s art deco building, there is a spa, gym, sauna, outdoor swimming pool, barber and beauty shop, and many more modern and trendy facilities to make every Brazil vacation a comfortable one.

The hotel’s 2 restaurants are attractions in and of themselves; Cipriani is a top Rio de Janeiro Italian fine-dining destination, while Pérgula focuses on Brazilian cuisine and seafood creations. After your meal, take in a fresh cocktail at Copacabana Palace’s Copacabana Piano Bar, or at the poolside Bar do Copacabana where a DJ is often spinning live music.
