Copacabana Palace

The Copacabana Palace is an Orient Express property and is Rio’s most famous hotel; a landmark in its own right. It is superbly located facing the famous Copacabana Beach and yet is only minutes from the centre of Rio. Rio’s best luxury property with 222 rooms – it has historically been the haunt of film stars.

The Copacabana Palace is the jewel of the Orient-Express collection in the southern hemisphere and, according to the Official Hotel Guide, is the best luxury hotel in Latin America.

The rooms and suites face either the sea, internal, pool or city view. Rooms have an ensuite shower room, air conditioner, cable T.V. (major International channels), VCR, fax, electronic safe, hair dryer and direct telephones lines.

The Copacabana Palace also boasts a magnificent semi-Olympic size swimming pool, without doubt the finest in Rio, and a tennis court. The hotel also offers a Fitness Centre, Beauty Salon, Baby Sitting Service and Beach Service.

Water sports nearby include surfing and body-boarding. It is also possible to cruise and snorkel around the offshore islands as well as play golf, beach volleyball, beach football and other sports.

“From the day the hotel opened in 1923 it has attracted royalty, high society and the cream of Hollywood.”
