Copacabana Palace, a Belmond Hotel
Rio de Janeiro, Atlantic Forest
This 100-year-old hotel put the world-famous Copacabana beach on the map! The French-designed Art Deco building stands tall and white behind its namesake sands, boasting cinematic views over the Atlantic Ocean. Renowned for its glamourous parties and luxurious atmosphere, the Copacabana has been the choice of royalty, celebrities, and discerning travelers for decades.
Inside, you’ll find spacious guest rooms that ooze comfort and style – be sure to ask for a sea-facing room to make the most of the hotel’s magnificent vistas in peaceful privacy. The grand outdoor pool is a high-profile hangout in the city, as are the property’s two Michelin-starred restaurants, Asian-fusion MEE and Northern Italian Cipriani.
