The Fairmont is a beautiful property with lovely views from the restaurant and an amazing spa. The Amazon experience treatment in the spa was the best three hours I’ve had in many years. My only issue is that the lost and found has been unresponsive and I left something in the room that I would like to get back.

We stayed at the Fairmont for 4 nights. The location between Copacabana and Ipenema beach is fantastic. Our room had a view onto the sugarloaf and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching people on the beach and in the water. We only had one dinner in the hotel restaurant. It was amazing. The breakfast buffet had a good selection. Rooms were spacious and clean and the beds comfortable. The shower pressure was excellent. But most importantly, the staff were always helpful and nice. I highly recommend this hotel.

OK stay in noisy hotel

The doors to balcony are not good enough considering the rooms are above the pool/restaurant - they need to improve/update them- the hotel was very busy as it was the end of Carnival but the noise went very late into the night. The room was comfy nothing special and def not as good as other Fairmonts.
