For a touch of old-fashioned glamour, nothing compares to the Copacabana Palacae Hotel, everything about it from the wood- pannelled lifts to the marble stair cases oozes luxury. The thrill of Rio de Janeiro is a physical one. Drama is built into the landscape, with Sugarloaf Mountain rearing up behind the Atlantic coastline, and the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer surveying the scene. The Copacabana Palace offers the perfect venue for unforgettable memories to celebrate your honeymoon. The Copacabana Palace has 225 rooms and suites, 147 of which in the main building and 78 suites in the Annex. All are individually designed with fine period furniture and original works of art. Each of the rooms has view of the sea or of Copacabana Avenue. All suites have spacious and opulent sitting rooms. Among the facilities available at the hotel there is communications and entertainment technology, creating the perfect environment in which to work and relax, besides the tennis court, swimming pool, fitness center, laundry service and hairdresser. This is the most indulgently luxurious experience in town! The accommodations on the 1st and 2nd floors have been decorated by Michel Jouanet, who has used the original Copacabana Palace furniture, which came from the early 1920s, when the Guinle Family built the Hotel. On these floors, we have Standard Rooms (composed by bedroom and bathroom with city view), Deluxe Ocean View Rooms (composed by bedroom and bathroom, facing the Copacabana beach) and Junior Ocean View Suites and Deluxe Ocean View Suites, both composed by bedroom, bathroom and living room facing the famous Copacabana beach. With its opulent lounges, bars and restaurants, the Copacabana Palace is a haven of relaxation and good living. Guests can choose from two of Rio's finest restaurants: The Hotel Cipriani Restaurant and The Pergula Restaurant. The Hotel Cipriani Restaurant, which serves Italian dishes, is one of the most sophisticated in the city and is patronised by the jet set of Rio. The Pergula Restaurant is situated by the pool and offers breakfast, lunch and alfresco dining. The Copacabana Piano Bar is a sophisticated and casual meeting place. Alternatively, you can dine in the comfort and privacy of your own room with 24-hour Room Service. The Copacabana Palace prides itself on its service and our well-trained professional staff are ready to attend to guests' every wish. Drinks and light snacks are served on the Pool Terrace throughout the day. Opened in 1923, this impressive stucco-fashioned edifice is Rio's most traditional and luxurious hotel. This landmark was designed by the French architect Joseph Gire who was inspired by two hotels, the Negresco in Nice and the Carlton in Cannes. Since opening the hotel has had only two owners, the Guinle family of Rio de Janeiro and from 1989, Orient-Express Hotels, Trains & Cruises. The Copacabana Palace Hotel has undergone an extensive discreet refurbishment program, which was designed to retain and enhance the hotel's position as South America's premiere hotel. A new method of illuminating the façade was introduced in 1990 and allows the hotel to shine as brightly by night as it does by the day. By the end of 1991, the hotel's pool area which houses one of the city's largest and most attractive swimming pools was fully renovated. Today, the Hotel occupies an area of over 12.000 square meters of some of the most expensive and sought after real estate in Brazil. From 1991 to 1995 the Tower Building and the Main Building were completely renovated and modernized and a new Executive floor (5th floor), which holds 225 rooms and suites and the 6th floor with 7 Penthouse suites were added to the hotel. The Copacabana Palace offers comfort and great facilities. The Mediterranean-style building is imposing and elegant - an architectural classic. In its attention to details, and its overall atmosphere, the Copacabana Palace represents a classic marriage of Latin and European styles.
