One of the oldest in Rio
Unique Quality: A veritable Rio landmark, Copacabana Palace continues to enjoy a reputation as one of the most glamorous hotels in Brazil. The immaculate white façade, beachfront location, immaculately-attired staff and fabulous pool combine to make this an enduring favourite with celebrities visiting the city. The hotel's two restaurants, Cipriani and the less-formal Pergula, offer some of the best food in the city, and non-guests are welcome. Advance booking is essential, and be warned that prices sky rocket over Carnival and New Year.

Traditional Luxury $$$ - nice pop-out TV in room
Stayed at the Copacabana Palace because my Brazilian friend said that the Palace was the "place" to stay at, and the choice of royalties and dignitaries (although I am neither) who visit Rio.
So, on my third visit to this beautiful country, I did book at the Palace (painfully at over $600 per night!) and it was indeed traditional luxury with excellent service. I was expecting a bigger reception area for a "palace", but the room I was given had high ceilings and was tastefully decorated. I was looking for the television set and found out I had to push a button so that the TV popped up at the end of the bed.
The giveaway slippers for use at the beach were very comfy, and the bathrobes lush. The beach was okay, and your slippers and towel identify you as "from the Palace". But I do agree with another reviewer who says that the beach at Ipanema is better.
The hotel price can be restrictive to most, but staying a night or two can be a memorable experience at the Palace, and then maybe transfer to an Ipanema hotel for the remaining days. Taxis are relatively safe and plentiful so transferring won't be a problem. The pool is huge and relaxing-looking with people enjoying food nearby, but I did rather lounge at the beach instead and actually did not stay much in the hotel except to sleep.

Pure luxury
I first stayed at the Copacabana Palace Hotel in 2002. I was alone and paid US$465 a night for a very small room, with a tiny ocean-view balcony, in the main ('original') building.
In July 2008 my wife and I were upgraded -- for what reason I do not know -- to a suite in the tower ('new') building. It was spectacular: a large sitting room, a bedroom larger than my entire accommodation in the main building, and a huge, ocean-facing balcony. Further, the cost -- for two people -- was just US$400.
We were taken aback when we were asked to sign a chit for breakfast -- R$110 (US$73). That was only a formality: the charges did not appear on our final bill.
Unique Quality: Service at the Copacabana Palace remains outstanding, at the reception (check-in and -out) and concierge desks, in the restaurants, and everywhere else.
Food in La Pergola, the casual restaurant, was first class. The breakfast included 14(!) different kinds of fruit; many types of bread, rolls, and pastry; cereals; juices; waffles and pancakes; and. . . . Dinner -- I had lobster, my wife shrimp -- was also superb.
Our only disappointment was with the hotel's Cipriani Restaurant. When I ate here in 2002 the food was of gourmet quality. Perhaps there's a different chef now, or was the night we dined. My pork ('suckling pig') was barely edible; my wife's lamb chops were merely OK.

An unforgettable experience...
This hotel was like staying in a castle...I came to Brazil with my husband to explore the Amazon rain forest and get real down to earth in the rich culture and wildlife.
The hotel could not have been more gorgeous or perfect. It costs a small fortune to stay here, don't be surprised to find a celebrity such as Lenny Kravitz or Jack Nicholson in the room next to you...
We stayed in junior suite which was to die for. All of your amenities in the highest quality and very appealing. If you plan on taking long hikes, tours, canoing, etc all day you definitely want to come home to an ice cold room and mini bar filled with treats, which was exactly what we looked forward to upon returning from our adventures.
The bed was like sleeping on air, now I have back problems and this was a miracle bed for me! The food was presented very creatively, we ate there nearly every night. Our tour guide Lorenz arranged everything from tours, to gear rentals, to limo pickups, etc and was truly on top of his game and catered to our every need.
We shall return to the Copacabana Palace Hotel, the most elite hotel we have stayed at in South America!

Great place (stay here)
The Portuguese say "mains un dia, mais un dolar" and that's applicabel to the Copa; another day, another dollar. It is rich in both history and in expense. But is well worth the stay. My only other choice was Caesars which gives you better shopping, restaurants and beach - but not the atmosphere of the Copa. My family wouldn't stay anywhere else now.
From it's beautiful white facade to the elegant hallways and banquet rooms, it's a treat. It's the Breakers of Brazil. Our spacious standard room in the tower offered a pool and beach view. The food at the hotel is great and we ate at the pool restaurant mainly.
It is quiet on this section of town at night and we felt perfectly safe venturing out into the short row of restaurants that line Atlantica Avenue. Mostly mixed Italian with Portuguese food.
And celebs abound at this place....we ran into Lenny Kravitz amongst others.
Unique Quality: The service is highly attentive...you get up from your pool chair, you get a new towel. You want a complete history lesson from the staff, you get it.

Lovely but SMALL rooms
I visited a friend who was staying here and while the hotel was beautiful, their room was extremely small for the price. Here they were on their honeymoon, and the room was almost completely filled by the king sized bed.
Everything else I saw of the hotel was first-class. The pool is very large and we enjoyed our meal (and wine!) in the restaurant right by the pool. Quite expensive though!
Oh well, we were in Rio! Enjoy your stay.

A luxurious hotel!
If you like to stay practically on the beach in style, I suppose this is the place! I took this picture as we were passing by the place.
