Orla Copacabana Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I showed up for the Dallas Cowboys game and the staff was great. The location was fine and I thought they did a really great job."

Miramar by Windsor Copacabana

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel!! This is our second time here. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Great location right in front of the Copacabana beach. The view from our room (lux casal) was absolutely stunning. The room was super spacious and comfortable, the shower and the jacuzzi were wow! And the pool and bar on the roof and the gym - everything is just perfect!! We will definitely come back again."

Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana. From the moment I arrived, the service was excellent. The doormen were always so helpful getting me in and out of the car, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was excellent, and the service there was consistently attentive and professional. I also have to give a special mention to the room service. It was spot on every single time — my orders were always accurate, delivered promptly, and the staff were so friendly, kind, and always arrived with a smile. That really stood out to me during my stay. The hotel and my room were very clean and beautifully maintained. I also had a gorgeous view of the beach, which made the stay feel even more special. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept very well as far as the comfort of the room itself. The only downside was the outside noise. There was quite a bit of street noise, as well as noise coming from the military facility across the street. I realize this really isn’t the hotel’s fault and is simply part of the location, but it is something to be aware of if you are a light sleeper. Overall, I had a very positive experience. The kindness and professionalism of the staff, the excellent service, the food, the cleanliness, the beautiful beach view, and the comfort of the room made my stay very enjoyable. I would absolutely stay at the Fairmont again."

Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was fantastic! Breakfast buffet is elaborate, room service food was very good with 24 hour availability. We arrived at 2am and were able to order from a full menu! Bar cocktails were excellent. Spa was exceptional with reasonable prices! Beach is beautiful and safe. I can’t wait to go back!"
