"Undoubtedly the most iconic hotel in Brazil, Belmond Copacabana Palace is an ultra-glamorous grande dame with elegant guestrooms, Michelin-starred dining and one of the city’s biggest (and best) swimming pools."

Without a doubt, Belmond Copacabana Palace is the most iconic hotel in Brazil. Built in 1923 and inspired by Nice's Negresco and Cannes’ Intercontinental Carlton, this 239-room property was the first luxury hotel in South America. ‘If the walls could talk’ certainly applies to this grande dame, read on.

Spend some time perusing the hotel’s corridors, which are lined with black-and-white photos of famous guests from over the years; its visitors’ book is a veritable ‘who’s who’ in the world. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers danced together at the hotel in Flying Down to Rio in 1933. After that, Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, Robert De Niro, Princess Diana, Mick Jagger, politicians – including the Obamas – and many famous athletes stayed here.

Synonymous with glitz and glamour, the hotel, with its neoclassical facade, has been beautifully maintained and is still a glimmering shade of white, as is the interior of the hotel. The look is cool, elegant and...   Show more

After that, Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, Robert De Niro, Princess Diana, Mick Jagger, politicians – including the Obamas – and many famous athletes stayed here.

Synonymous with glitz and glamour, the hotel, with its neoclassical facade, has been beautifully maintained and is still a glimmering shade of white, as is the interior of the hotel. The look is cool, elegant and extravagant. Within are many pieces of fine artwork and period furniture pieces to appreciate, most from local artists and some in the rooms themselves which are all individually appointed. Don’t pass up the chance to stay in a room facing the ocean which is probably why you’re here anyway. For a few more Brazilian reals you’ll wake up a whole lot happier.

The swimming pool, one of the city's largest and most attractive, is a big draw as are the hotel restaurants. The elegant, Michelin-starred Ristorante Hotel Cipriani serves Northern Italian cuisine and overlooks the pool. On Saturdays, you can try feijoada – Brazil’s national dish – essentially a Portuguese stew of meat, veg and black beans in the less formal Pérgula Restaurant by the pool. Visit the stunning Michelin-starred MEE restaurant for pan-Asian dishes, or reserve the Chef’s Table for an exciting excursion through Brazilian fusion cuisine.

Spend an afternoon lounging beside Rio’s most glamorous pool with a cocktail from the pool bar, or head to Copacabana Palace Spa for a luxurious body treatment featuring local ingredients or a soothing massage designed to beat jet lag.
