Experts' Choice Award Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana
What the experts agree on
A calmer perch at Copacabana's quieter Arpoador end, with two pools, top-tier service, and easy walks to Ipanema. Views are a highlight, though decor draws mixed reviews.
“A top pick for business travelers, the Sofitel sits right on the famed Copacabana Beach.”
