Praise
The Copa is as opulent and fabulous as one might imagine, thanks to ongoing and sympathetic renovations and modernisations. The suites are old-school luxurious, with genuinely comfortable sitting rooms, and the public space in which to see and be seen is the famous pool area.
50 Best, October 2025A symbol of timeless glamour, the Copacabana Palace is an enduring love letter to Rio de Janeiro.
Wanderlust, April 2025Giving the feel of old Hollywood glamour meets Parisian elegance, the hotel is a glittering gem along the Brazilian shoreline. The facade resembles an actual palace with an Art Deco design that carries through the property. Rooms are genuinely stunning, with oversized ocean-facing balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows, delicate French fabrics, large beds, and hand-picked antiques.
Fodor's Travel, January 2024The Palace may be grand, but it is also fun. It pulls you into a cheeky Brazilian embrace: comforting, perhaps, but always a little flirtatious.
Conde Nast Traveler, January 2024The Palace may have been lording it over Copacabana for nearly a century, but it is a rare example of how to grow old gracefully in this anything-goes beach neighbourhood.
The Telegraph, September 2018The hotel's neoclassical facade is beautifully maintained and remains a glimmering white. Inside you can find one of the city's largest and most attractive swimming pools.
Fodor's, April 2018...the bar near the semi-Olympic-size pool, with its bossa nova soundtrack and fresh fruit caipirinhas, gets our vote for where to drink away the afternoon.
