THE DETAIL

This hotel is one of Rio’s finest hotels and has been attracting the rich and famous since 1923. Each suite has been designed individually with fine furniture and original art work, the recent refurbishment has carefully given a face lift without losing the original colonial feel, most noticeable are the bathrooms though, which have lost the tired 1960’s feel

Probably the best aspect of this hotel is the fantastic views of Copacabana beach, as well as offering probably the best swimming pool in Rio. With an array of rooms to choose from it is difficult to single one out, our best advice though is to get a room with a view of the beach.
