Client comments and reviews

The hotel is superbly situated right on the beach at Copacabana. Great rooms and very good service. There are three restaurants, the main restaurant which we used for breakfast and two others (Asian and Italian). We ate in both and although the food was good they were both a little pretentious and expensive in comparison with restaurants outside the hotel. - RP (November 2019)

The Copacabana Palace hotel was fantastic. - NW (June 2019)

We had a double upgrade at Copacabana Palace to a wonderful suite and I could actually spend the rest of my life there. We both thought it was the best hotel of the holiday. - CL (March 2008)
