Belmond Copacabana Palace

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

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.

What our clients say

A wonderful end to our honeymoon. Our room had a fantastic view overlooking the beach and the facilities were second to none. There were a few small issues with service…
VK,Norwich Aug 2014
Attentive staff, friendly check in, wonderful breakfast.
MK, Southampton Mar 2018
First rate obviously but my only criticism is that the pool is in the shade most of the day and has no views as it is low level and overlooked…
AL, London Feb 2017
They were very welcoming and upgraded our room to a sea view with a bottle of bubbly which was a lovely surprise.
