Belmond Copacabana Palace Highlights
This classic landmark of a hotel is steeped in history and lords over it surrounds. Resting on the shores of Rio’s famous Copacabana Beach, the Belmond Copacabana Palace is most certainly a timeless hotel.
The 243 roomed hotel opened its doors in 1923 and has aged gracefully. It’s a glamorous destination once frequented by the Hollywood elite of the 1950s. It’s still home to an exclusive crowd in Brazil and certainly hasn’t lost its charm. The Palace is the perfect place to indulge in a bit of celebrity splendour while enjoying a caipirinha or two in the Piano bar.
This art deco masterpiece is home to a Michelin-starred restaurant, and two other fine dining establishments all offering a variety of unique dishes. An expansive swimming pool, piano bar, pool bar, Palace spa and salon provide plenty of scope for relaxation. Activities can be arranged from the hotel, which include anything from sailing to cooking classes.
