Belmond Copacabana Palace
An iconic Rio institution with the city's best pool and an assuredly first-class approach to facilities, style and service.
Belmond Copacabana Palace is Rio’s most iconic hotel, oozing refinement and luxury and now owned by the prestigious Belmond group.
One of the oldest buildings on Copacabana’s beachfront strip, the fine neo-classical façade sets the tone for this sumptuous property. Assuredly first class in its facilities and attitude to its guests, the hotel offers old-fashioned, attentive service.
Each of the rooms and suites is unique, varying in size and view. We recommend splashing out on a sea view room or suite to make the experience extra special.
The swimming pool is the finest of any hotel in the city, and its terrace – the setting for Brazil's most indulgent breakfast – is a delightful place to relaxing between sightseeing, shopping, dining and people-watching.
