Belmond Copacabana Palace

Taking its place alongside Rio’s greatest landmarks, including Christ the Redeemer statue and the Sambódromo, is Belmond Copacabana Palace. This art deco icon has ruled over its namesake beach since 1923, and its dazzling lobby ensures its reign will continue. All rooms are redecorated with period furniture, original artwork and modern amenities, including plasma televisions and iPod docks.. The spa uses local ingredients like açaí and guarana; Ristorante Hotel Cipriani hosts the city’s most coveted Chef’s Table, and Michelin-star MEE presents Rio's best Pan-Asian cuisine.
