“Rio's iconic Copacabana grande dame”
Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Rio de Janeiro is the 1922 icon guests call Rio's best — a pearl on the beach where celebrities stay, worth at least two nights. Facilities, hygiene and service all impress; the pool is loved for afternoon lounging and evening cocktails, and rooms are cozy and clean though the air conditioning runs loud. Dining guidance from reviews: choose the Pergula, called delicious, and skip the MEE, which disappointed. The one pity: the hotel's beach stand sits far from the sea itself.
