Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Rio de Janeiro
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro
“Centennial beachfront beacon”
Condé Nast Traveler
“Behind its striking white exterior there’s a special atmosphere that’s not simply due to the location and smart interiors but a thoughtful attention to the history of a bygone age, discreetly brought up to date.”
Vibe
White-uniformed servers carry caipirinhas around the central pool, where Rio society mingles against the stark white Art Deco facade.
“Centennial beachfront beacon”
Protected 1923 Art Deco palace on Avenida Atlântica, originally designed by French architect Joseph Gire.
A century-old landmark hosting Rio society for grand ballroom galas, poolside caipirinhas, and milestone celebrations.
Attentive beach service across the avenue, private sixth-floor penthouse pool, and fine-dining kitchen table service.
Facing the sand along Avenida Atlântica, centered on the bustling promenade of Copacabana Beach.
Rooms
Pool Wing suites feature furniture by Sergio Rodrigues, reclaimed Amazon timber, and bespoke woodcuts beside wide marble bathrooms.
Wellness
A rooftop tennis court sits above multi-floor spa suites and saunas, while attendants arrange loungers and umbrellas directly on the sand.
Backstory
French architect Joseph Gire modeled the 1923 palace after Nice's Le Negresco, commissioned to host dignitaries for Brazil's independence centennial.
Eat & drink
Dine at the kitchen table inside Ristorante Hotel Cipriani, order omakase at MEE, or share Saturday feijoada along the poolside terrace.
The neighborhood
Avenida Atlântica's patterned promenade unrolls right outside the front doors, centered along the two-and-a-half-mile sweep of Copacabana Beach.
