PB hotel design editorial

Joseph Gire's white neoclassical facade along Avenida Atlântica has been one of Rio de Janeiro's defining architectural gestures since 1923 — a building whose European pedigree looked directly out over one of the world's great stretches of sand. The Copacabana Palace, now part of the Belmond collection, was commissioned by Swiss hotelier Octávio Guinle and expanded in stages through the 1940s and 1970s, eventually reaching 239 rooms and suites across its ten floors. From the balconies visible in the images — white-painted wrought-iron railings with circular motifs, herringbone timber floors catching the afternoon light — the famous Burle Marx wave-patterned promenade and the full arc of Copacabana beach unfold below, a view that has remained essentially unchanged for a century. Inside, the interiors navigate the tension between grand-hotel formality and Rio's inherent warmth with considerable ease. The Restaurant Cipriani glows beneath large painted gold pendant lanterns, its colonnaded dining room opening onto the pool terrace through sheer-draped floor-to-ceiling windows, red-lacquered chairs and a flowering carpet lending the space an unmistakably operatic quality. Guest rooms divide between two registers: the palace suites layer dark mahogany four-poster beds over Persian rugs and polished hardwood floors, while the renovated standard rooms adopt a lighter hand — bleached oak wall panelling, patterned linen curtains, landscape paintings of Rio in silver frames — that feels closer to a well-appointed private apartment than a conventional hotel room.

"We had an absolutely amazing stay at Belmond Copacabana Palace. Everything was truly exceptional — the restaurants were outstanding, the staff were incredibly warm, professional, and always ready to help with anything. From the moment we arrived, we felt taken care of and welcomed in the most elegant way. The service, the atmosphere, the food — everything was simply perfect. We had a really, really great time and created wonderful memories here. Without a doubt, this is the best place to stay in Rio. We will definitely be back."

"Copacabana Palace has the best Sunday Brunch! For 20 years I have enjoyed the Sunday Brunch and March 8th was the best ever! The food is unsurpassed in variety and quality , server Diego could not have been more attentive and helpful, Tony the brunch manager was 100% on top of every detail and the entertainment was professional. Every time I go to Sunday Brunch I am pleased..... the experience is always one the highlights of my Rio visits. I can not think of enough superlatives to recommend Sunday Brunch at Copacabana Palace."

"Unfortunately, I am not very good with names, so I may not remember everyone correctly. However, I would like to especially mention the gentleman at the pool and Debora, who were both wonderful. The service at the restaurant and the pool area was outstanding. The reception team and the concierge were also excellent — very professional, attentive, and welcoming. I would also like to compliment the lady responsible for cleaning the room. The room was impeccably clean, and the beautiful scent of capim-cidro was truly unforgettable. The Gentleman who helps in the toilet very welcoming Overall, the service throughout the hotel was exceptional, and it made the stay very special."
