Belmond Copacabana Palace

Rooms

Rooms and suites are divided between a main building and adjoining tower. Rooms vary in size and can range from city or partial ocean views right up to uninterrupted views of the Copacabana strip. All have marble bathrooms, air conditioning, and other amenities; the suite category and above also have their own private balconies.

Location

For nearly a century the Belmond Copacabana Palace has occupied one of the prime spots on Copacabana Beach. Despite being right on Avenida Atlântica — the main strip that runs the length of the beach — the hotel remains slightly tucked back, allowing for respite from the whirling urban jungle just footsteps away.

Food and Drink

Several of Rio’s best-loved restaurants are found at the Belmond Copacabana Palace and with three options to choose from, there's the opportunity to sample different regional and international cuisine every night of your stay. Pérgula serves authentic Brazilian dishes. There's also hearty Italian fare at Hotel Cipriani Restaurant, and Michelin-starred pan-Asian cuisine at Mee. The upscale Piano Bar is an excellent place for an aperitif or a nightcap. 

Families

The hotel may seem opulent, but this is still a good option for families. Special amenities can be provided for children and connecting rooms are available.

Facilities and Activities

Facilities at the hotel include a semi-Olympic-size swimming pool, a spa, a tennis court, and three excellent restaurants and a bar, plus beach service. You'll also be able to see all the famous people who have stayed at the hotel in its 'hall of fame'.

Alternative places to stay nearby

To help you make the right choice, we give each property a rating based on its facilities and service, but we also look for hotels with distinct character or a location that can’t be bettered.
