Luxurious hotels, with all their comfort and leisure, great food, and bars, are always a good experience. But when it comes to the Copacabana Palace Hotel, the experience becomes much more than that: the Copacabana Palace Hotel in Rio de Janeiro is part of the history of the city. It’s one of the characters that turned Rio de Janeiro into one of the most beautiful places to visit in the world. Since its opening in 1932, the Copacabana Palace has been considered the premier hotel of South America. It's the must-go destination for celebrities and for tourists searching for a luxurious residence in Rio de Janeiro.

Built-in the 1920s as a request from then-President Epitácio Pessoa, the huge hotel was in a Copacabana that had no other aside from mansions and houses. Designed by the French architect Joseph Gire and inspired by the French Riviera Negresco in Nice and the Carlton in Cannes, the Copacabana Palace Hotel's white neo-classical façade reflects the glamour of the decade.

The Copacabana Palace Hotel has two buildings. There are 148 rooms in its main building and 78 rooms in the annex. For leisure and fun, Copacabana Palace Hotel offers a semi-Olympic swimming pool, an exclusive swimming pool for VIP guests at the penthouse, a tennis court, a fitness center, a three-story spa, two bars, a nightclub, and two restaurants. The Bar do Copa, annexed to the hotel, has top quality cocktails, and a great ambiance.

The Copacabana Palace Hotel will always be a beautiful piece of Rio de Janeiro, standing still through the economic devaluation of its surroundings and the loss of interest in the Art Deco buildings by most of the mass tourism industry agencies today. Since it opened, the Copacabana Palace Hotel has been linked to the history of Rio: In 2008, the Copacabana Palace was confirmed as a cultural patrimony of the city of Rio de Janeiro.

If you are looking for elegance and luxury, with the best of comfort and relaxation, Copacabana Palace Hotel in Rio de Janeiro is the best place for you to stay!
