Postives: great service from the staff, and the food was good. Negative: the hotel feels dated and in need of a renovation. For high end luxury prices (similar to 5* hotels in NYC or London), this didn’t feel like good value

Copacabana Palace is a gem. The level of service is just magical. I mentioned my love of brigadeiros to the bellhop, a tin full of the was delivered to the room. An employee walks around the pool offering to clean your sunglasses. Little treats are offered around the property throughout the day. I’m not a fan of Copacabana as a neighborhood but the hotel is worth staying.

Looking a little tired

We enjoyed two nights at this grande dame which is looking a little tired. Excellent service throughout but its faded glamour does not live up to its reputation. We took an informative tour of the hotel but the hallway of fame is very underwhelming. Only a handful of famous guests are actually photographed at the hotel itself and no dates are given for when they stayed. We are now at the Belmond Hotel das Cataratas in Iguazu which by comparison is absolutely incredible. Plush furnishings, beautiful gardens, choice of 3 restaurants open each day and just as excellent service.
