Rooms are nice and the A/C works well -- I also appreciated the blackout curtains and Rio will cause you to have many late nights -- The Lounge is very nice but the drinks are a bit pricey. Service here was quite good and the food is also up to par. This is at the far end of Copacabana which... More

We had a great experience at the Sofitel, let down only by the quality of the property. First the positives: Location - cannot be beaten. Right at the southern end of Copacabana beach with fantastic views up the beach and Sugarloaf. Best enjoyed by the wonderful breakfast terrace. It is also just a short walk to Ipanema beach. Service generally... More

Good location and high price raises expectations but room was small, damp and had plumbing problems. Hotel clearly needs major renovation. Stayed as first stop of Captain's Choice South America Luxury Tour and therefore very disappointing. Group Samba evening held in tired conference room with poor buffet food. View over Copacabana was the only consolation. T&M More

The breakfast setting on a terrace overlooking Copacabana Beach and the Sugar Loaf must be one of the best views anywhere. Best done early before the heat of the morning strikes although there are umbrellas for shade from the sun – a superb setting! There is a shopping mall adjacent to the hotel with access from the hotel lobby although... More

After a very long flight from London, we arrived in Rio late at night, and unable to really take in where we were. We vaguely acknowledged the pleasant receptionist when she reminded us that we had booked a deluxe balcony room. The only view we were interested in at that point was the heavenly mattress, which received us with open... More

The view from sea facing bedrooms is wonderful, right across the cresent of Copacabana beach to Sugar Loaf Mountain. There's also a brilliant night-time view of the floodlit Christ the Redeemer from the Club on the top floor...but that has to be self discovered. Such a shame about the 3 star service. Ix 100ml bottle of water free in a... More
