Loved the Service and the feel of this Grand hotel. Location was great and felt safe. Pool and Beach service are worth a stay. The City View Room in the original building, not so great. Slow Plumbing, Poor water pressure. Blow Dryer plug did not fit in Socket you had to hold it while drying you hair. We had room... More

We spent 4 nights of our week's honeymoon in Rio aft Copacabana Palace after an initally disappointing start to our week at another hotel, basically this hotel and their staff salvaged our honeymoon and now when we think of our honeymoon we think only of them and have amazing memories thanks to them! The hotel may be huge and spotless... More

The hotel has real potential, but when two hotel managers blatantly lied to me last week, there was little they could subsequently do to change my opinion that this is a poorly run establishment. My room was small--not a problem. But after my husband and I dropped a large sum to eat at one of Rio's best restaurants, we returned... More

Nice hotel. very friendly and good service. Good food. Nice pool. But a bit old fashioned hotel. Rooms good but not great. Choice of restaurants very limited. Breakfast buffet nice but not exciting. All in all, a nice hotel, but too expensive for what you get. Also the location is not fantastic; Copacabana is highly overrated. More

This time, I booked through AMEX Centurion and was upgraded to junior suite, late check-out, free dinner for 2 and a 100 US spa voucher. For me, it is still one of the best hotels in the whole of Brazil. It has everything: Iconic and historic building on prime location, very well trained friendly and professional staff, great restaurants. Every... More

The Copacabana Palace is a grand, early twentieth century hotel, filled with character and charm. The rooms have high ceilings and many have views of the eponymous beach. With a view of one of the most famous stretches of sand in the world, what more could you want? Well, first of all, the service is always smiling but also often... More

I'll start with the positives. The location is excellent with Copacabana beach at your doorstep and Sugar Loaf mountain less than a ten minute drive away. The beds are comfortable and the house keeping is top notch. The negatives...we were charged over 100 pounds for a 'limo' from the airport. The car they sent for us was far worse than... More

This hotel is pricey (AUD$500 for simple room) but it is SO worth it. The hotel itself is beautiful and located on the famous copacabana beach. The staff were excellent, the room is beautiful and comfortalble with a huge bathroom and comfy beds (although we did not have a view sadly of the beach-couldn't afford it) and the pool is... More

The Copacabana Palace is a nice hotel in a pretty damn good location. But, if you're after value-for-money, then forget it. A bottom of the range room here will set you back around US$500 a night. The room we got for that was nice, but certainly nothing special. We had lunch in their restaurant where we had a choice between... More

This hotel is really two buildings, the old, original one and a newer addition which, of course isn't new at all today. These two buildings surround the swimming pool. At one end of the pool is the casual Pergola restaurant serving 3 meals a day. At the opposite end of the pool sits the more formal restaurant, Cipriani. My reviews... More
