Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Rio de Janeiro
Copacabana Palace is Rio’s definitive grand hotel, combining century-old Art Deco glamour, legendary beach frontage, destination dining and a pool scene woven into the city’s cultural mythology.
Copacabana Palace has faced its namesake beach for more than a century, occupying one of Rio de Janeiro’s most recognizable addresses on Avenida Atlântica.
The hotel’s white Art Deco façade and grand public rooms preserve the atmosphere of an old-world palace while ongoing updates keep the accommodation from feeling trapped in the past.
Rooms and suites range from elegant city-facing categories to major oceanfront suites with broad views over Copacabana Beach. Top-floor accommodations add expansive terraces, kitchens and private-pool access.
Dining has long been part of the hotel’s identity, with Michelin-recognized restaurants alongside Pérgula and the pool bar. The main pool, rooftop tennis and dedicated beach service reinforce the feeling of a true urban resort.
Copacabana Palace is best for travelers who want Rio at its most iconic, where history, celebrity, beach culture and grand-hotel ceremony are inseparable from the stay.
