amazing view is the first thing that comes in my mind apart from good service More

Checked in 20 Dec 2011 for a 4 night pre-cruise stay. Great hotel, clean and Wow ! the view over Copacabana Beach is breathtaking. You can stand on your little balcony and watch the hustle and bustle of Rio go by. The rooms and bathrooms were a good size. The breakfast was great. Huge variety from fresh pasties, to fruist,...

I stayed in this oceanfront hotel many times during the last 23 years and nothing to much did change during that time. Ask for junior suites above 20th. floor oceanview and you likely get a renovated room. The pool on the roof top is great ! Free towels, chairs and tables right on the beach. For the price it is...

I had stayed at Sofitel and Best Western Ipanema during recent 2 week business trip. The rooms and views from a junior suite in this hotel were amazing.

We went to Rio in Nov 2011 for a week and had a great stay at the Othon Palace. The room and bathroom were clean and spacious, much like North American hotel rooms with TV and mini-bar (but no coffee maker). The pool and fitness facilities on the 30th floor are well-kept with good access and awesome views. As well,... More

Great place to stay right on Copacabana Beach. Handy to the metro, the shops and restaurants. Lovely setting and fantastic view in the Skylab Bar located on the 30th floor. More

Everything about this hotel is below average - especially for the price - and the attitude of the staff is that it is an amazing, perfect place. The manager can not possibly have ever stayed at a good hotel if he/she puts up with this place. It must be making money due to corporate deals and the strong Brazilian economy... More
