Frommer's Review

The spot where beachfront luxury in Rio all began, The Copacabana Palace is the place to splurge. True, things have gotten more crowded since this opulent vision first appeared on a lonely stretch of sand, but the 82-year-old Palace still maintains its Jazz Age charm. Taking full advantage, however, requires approaching things with Gatsbyesque confidence. Take, for example, the superior rooms and Avenida suites. Or rather, don't take them. Though slightly cheaper they offer not a drop of ocean view. Deluxe rooms offer a partial ocean view but to get value for money at the Palace it's really a case of go big or go home, and there's nothing bigger than the penthouse suites. Elegant and tastefully decorated, these spacious one-bedroom suites have their own private veranda overlooking Copacabana beach. Just as stylish and almost as spacious are the poolside suites, which also feature a partial ocean view. Now that is the kind of life we were intended to live. Note that the rates listed here are rack rates. Check the website or contact a travel agency for discounts.

2 restaurants; bar; large outdoor pool; rooftop tennis courts; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; car rental; business center; salon; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms
