Rio de Janeiro hotels near Forte de Copacabana

Pros: Staff always smiling and available, paying attention to little details that make a difference. Excellent breakfast. Great beach service, gym and swimming pool. Appreciated help from the concierge with buying a local SIM card and tickets to a football game. Lovely little spa with sauna and hammam and good quality of massages and treatments.

Pros: Cleanness

Pros: Beautiful.

Cons: There is no bar or restaurant in the main building. Needs more.

Pros: Everything was great except for Mee Restaurant within the property which is meant to be Michelin star. Service was poor. Not attentive like the rest of the hotel staff have been all week.

Cons: Mee Restaurant within the property which is meant to be Michelin star. Service was poor. Not attentive like the rest of the hotel staff have been all week. Spa needs a Hot Tub.

Pros: Awesome location across from the beach. The rooms and facilities are excellent. The staff are very helpful ..

Cons: The pool area is in shade most of the day. However the water is slightly heated. We ate at Wee which was disappointing. The food and service were just OK. I ordered Pad Thai. Having just returned from Thailand - this was a poor substitute.

Pros: Excellent hotel with an excellent service. This is a real 5 star hotel and we had really nothing to complain. The staff was amazing, food and beverage quality excellent, the gym offered almost all equipment we needed. The hotel itself was very clean. One of the best hotels I’ve stayed recently. Concierge service as well one of the best - especially Amanda. This hotel delivers luxury at a high standard and the flair is just amazing.

Cons: Rowing machine in the gym was missing

Pros: Belmond Copacabana Hotel is a superb property to stay if anybody is visiting the RIO area. All the staff from the doorman that takes care of your luggage upon your arrival, to the front desk staff that give you a welcoming experience. The rooms are large, spacious and clean with lots of towels in the bathroom. The internet, TV and all the appliances works excellent in the room. The Copacabana Beach is less than one minute walk across the street, as well as the famous boardwalk that stretches a long the beach. The breakfast buffet in the morning is excellent with large variety of different choices available for you to eat. Overall, the Belmond is my favourite place so far in Rio to stay and I will definitely stay at this hotel again.

Pros: Great Service! Great restaurant MEE! Cesar with guest relations made us feel so welcome. Would definitly recommend this hotel. I look forwardto staying at other Belmond properties in the future.

Pros: Starts with the amazing staff after that they do not leave early anything out. They even had guards at the beach to watch over you.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The staff went above and beyond and the breakfast was fabulous.

Pros: High quality

Cons: Nothing. A pop group was staying at the hotel and it changed the atmosphere with the groupies. Nice at first and a bit less later.

Pros: Very clean, the staff were very hospitable, friendly, and spoke excellent English. The location couldn't be better. And for my Arab and Muslim friends, there is a water hose near the toilet, others might not understand how crucial and important this is for us, but it speaks volumes about how considerate the managment is, thank you for the great gesture.

Pros: Room : spacious . Comfy bed. Breakfast crowded . Excellent options Location quite good at the end of Copacabana Beach post 5 Internet very good Roof top excellent view quite good swimming poo . Sun chairs with not sun umbrellas. Only regular chairs where you get some shadow

Cons: Room: booked twin with partial ocean view. A joke. You get to see the sea when you have some imagination standing next to the window in one corner. The beds in the wrong orientation Bathroom Not good air circulation. Hot water wasn’t available late hours or very early in the morning. I have waited more than 10 min with the water running until it was hit at 5.45 am Asked for extra towels as an special request in my reservation. They did the first day. They didn’t not remember the next days (any of them) . Bad communication from the front desk to the housekeeping. had to remain them every single day! Room it gets to hot (aircon off) or to cold (aircon on no matter what temperature chosen) Front desk booked a tour . Worse decision ever. It wasn’t good and I was overpriced 50% compared to other travelers on the same tour Also when check out it happened the tour guide was waiting for me (incredibly someone earlier in RIO!) the staff was calling to my room when I still have the do not disturb sign. Anyways I arrived at the front desk aprox 20 min before the supposed pick up time for the tour. The staff interrupted me when I was busy doing my check out thing I told him once twice ... not respect at all! roof top overpriced. My friend drunk a coconut water and forgot to sign the ticket. They called her mobile to do so! a joke when they took more than 1000 Brazilian tesis from my credit card

Pros: Excellent shower (fixed head) lashing of hot water We enjoyed a free upgrade after a cheeky hint from the Mrs ;) Bubbles on arrival Overall friendly staff Cleanliness Comfortable bed Blackout blinds Reasonable prices and good level of food/drink to eat in house Good choice and more bubbles at breakfast We were able to extend room on last day until 6pm for 50% of daily rate, after 6pm full price....until 2pm free of charge.. pretty standard charges (& of course subject to availability) Excellent location at Ipanema end of beach Good choice of food available at pool area and smaller adequate choice in lobby bar available until 11pm Small gym on site, usual cardio machines, lat pull down machine, leg machine & some lower range free weights available... Beach area, with towels, chairs and parasols provided free of charge Good size safe in room...lap top size Daily laundry service at reasonable price for a 5* hotel Good quality toiletries provided and replenished daily Very good restaurant for dinner if you don't fancy wandering far & like me wish to put your heels on! Excellent WIFI (even had signal on the beach opposite)

Cons: Cons:- Rooms, especially bathrooms have soundproofing issues...could hear neighbour singing in the shower & their conversation Doors should have auto close on, this would eliminate the deafening slamming of neighbouring room doors. Also the doors don't close unless you pull them too, security issue...so the auto close would eliminate these 2 issues. Waiting staff at breakfast could be intrusive (please see my review on TA for more details)

Cons: Room did not have front ocean view, just partial.
