THE HOTEL
Superbly positioned with its grand edifice overlooking the sea, this glamorous Orient-Express landmark in Rio has been welcoming the rich and famous since its Art Deco doors swung open in 1923. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers danced here and the Rolling Stones tuned up in its grand salon before their concert on the beach.
The Copacabana Palace has 245 rooms and suites in total, 147 are found in the main building, of which 71 are suites and 76 are bedrooms. In addition, there are 58 suites and 40 bedrooms with city views in the brand new Tower Wing.
Every room and suite is individually designed with fine period furniture and original works of art, creating an elegant, yet relaxed ambiance.
