"The spot where beachfront luxury in Rio began way back in the Jazz age, the 86-year-old Palace is still the place to splurge."

"Copacabana’s most plush hotel features ocean view suites that have housed princes, presidents, and visiting film stars."
Time Out
"Surely the most famous hotel in South America, the Palace elegantly lords over Copacabana beach, an oasis of class in a neighbourhood not always renowned for such dignity."

"Anyone who’s anyone has stayed in this gloriously maintained Art Deco landmark, which, despite Copacabana’s general decline, remains a great experience."

"The hotel's neoclassical facade is beautifully maintained and remains a glimmering white. Inside you can find one of the city's largest and most attractive swimming pools."

"With an excellent location toward the Ipanema end of the beach, this is the best of Golden Tulip's hotels here and is the only one geared toward the highest end of the tourist crowd."

Less than a dozen rooms here connect so be sure to request one early.
Lonely Planet
"Not to be confused with the slightly fancier Mercure Arpoador, this hotel offers trim and tidy suites, with pressed-wood floors, big windows and light, muted colors."

7.0
"This Grand Mercure – modern, stylish but somewhat isolated from the rest of Rio...it's ideally located for the regular international music festivals and sports events in the city."

"The excellent location in front of Copacabana Beach is this hotel's main draw; the rooms are clean and reasonably tasteful, and some have been recently refurbished"
