Very disappointed that check in was at 4:00 pm I paid almost 1,000 dollars that’s not acceptable that you can’t check in early.

Property is beautiful, but does need some updating. The “bones” of the hotel are great, but common areas (e.g., carpets) and elevators need updates, as did the bathroom of the room we stayed in. Ate at Pergola and Cipriani. Service is good, but we did feel as though some guests were singled out for particular care. There was a Vogue event at the hotel during our stay and lots of local celebrities (mostly local soap stars) that seemingly took all of the attention. Cipriani was weak compared to NY and Miami locations, but service was as attentive. Hotel is in Copacabana which is not as “safe” as Ipanema. I was robbed across the street from the hotel after a morning run, but there are plenty of doormen and security at the hotel itself. Hotel is a throwback to 60s jetsetter aesthetic, and it is clear Belmond (new proprietor) is leveraging that. However, the hotel clearly needs upgrades. If your standards are 5-star US/Europe you should consider looking elsewhere like staying at Fasano or some other location on Ipanema.

iconic property. great staff

Absolutely loved our stay in this hotel! Not only is the hotel beautiful but the staff is just as wonderful, everyone went above and beyond for us to feel welcomed and safe. I don’t usually review hotels because I’m lazy but in this case I made the effort. Will definitely be returning!

The staff was very attentive to our every need. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The location was excellent. We will definitely return!

This was my third visit to the Palace. I love the rooms the the pool. The restaurants are very nice but extremely expensive. The bar service at the pool is extremely slow. There isn’t any consistentcy with the drinks either. I was pretty disappointed with the service is general expect for the breakfast service which was excellent. I think the charm has worn off for us and next trip we will try another hotel.

Great hotel with a beautiful pool, nice tennis court and very good restaurant options. We loved the location. Staff was excellent.

Dear Jonathan,First of all, our sincere thanks for the constructive and well-intentioned feedback.I really regret and I am very sorry for what happened. We do have security in the hotel and the surrounding area is usually well patrolled. I hope you are well and that we were able to assist you in registering what occurred. Regarding the aspects of your text, the hotel actually retains its classic features and this year it completes a century of its foundation. We have a non stop plan of refurbishing the hotel and making updates to it. All the elevators in the main building are brand new and we are actually renovating also the façade of the hotel, apart from other touches all over. I believe the corridor of your floor, was not touched passing that impression and we will be addressing it. We apologize for any inconvenience at Cipriani. It is also a different offering and nothing to do with the ones mentioned, although they are also very good. Could you please tell us what occurred so we could check? Access our homepage at the contact us section.I hope I can hear more from you and I am at your disposal for any additional information.Best regards,ULISSES MARREIROSGENERAL MANAGER.
