"This beachside fourstar hotel is the Ipanema representative of the Best Western chain. Rooms are a little small with standard hotel furnish ings. The higher floors are quieter."
Time Out
"The rooms are clean, well equipped and unremarkable affairs, but if you have the beach view and the sun is out then the lack of luxury indoors is probably going to be the least of your considerations."

"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."
Fodor's
"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."
