Top Lapa Hotel Reviews

Miramar by Windsor Copacabana

10/10 Excellent

"Todo fue perfecto el personal siempre fue muy atentos y servicial el hotel es muy limpio y cómodo con una excelente vista"

Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was just outside the tourist section of the beach. Which honestly was nice; but we did have to Uber to a lot of places (attractions, restaurants, shows). I would recommended over and over again for the quality of the room, and the safety and security measures in place."

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."
