Copacabana Palace - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rio de Janeiro’s grand dame hotel stands as a landmark of 1920s architecture.

 Rio de Janeiro’s grand dame hotel, represented in the film Flying Down to Rio, where Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire danced across the ballroom floor, stands as a landmark of 1920’s architecture. Inspired by Nice’s Negresco, it evokes the glamour of a bygone era. Many of the bedrooms overlook Copacabana beach just steps from the hotel, although the scene at the outdoor swimming pool is as popular today as when Santos Dumont or Carmen Miranda took afternoon tea or sipped cocktails at sunset. The Sunday brunch and traditional Brazilian feijoada at the poolside Pérgula restaurant are unforgettable highlights, and in the world-renowned restaurant Hotel Cipriani, chef Nicola Finamore serves an innovative North Italian menu in a breathtakingly romantic setting. 

 

  The Copacabana Palace Hotel sits facing the celebrated Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The city, situated on the country's southern Atlantic coast, has many famous landmarks, including Sugar Loaf Mountain, the famed Ipanema beach, and the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer.

Captured in between lakes, forests and gardens, this highly contemporary structure shelters the Fasano Boa Vista Hotel just 100 km from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Spreading over 750 hectares, the property was designed by renowned architect Isay Weinfeld.

On the first floor, the restaurant encourages guests to choose between indoor and outdoor dining in a space capturing glimpses of the lake. Above, the lobby terrace extends the possibility of enjoying the views. On each side of the restaurant, a wing comprising welcoming rooms stretch horizontally, creating a geometric architecture. Unappologetic of its size and bold design, the hotel showcases its thirteen cubic modules housing all 39 guestrooms.

Wood panels, flooring and ceiling create a beautiful combination with the stonework, creating a sequence of volumes stretching across the land. In the lobby, drop down ceiling fire places encourage guests to relax and unwind, while the private quarters compose the perfect atmosphere for forgetting any stressful thoughts.

The architect also designed the Piedras Fasano Hotel in Uruguay and Casa d’Agua in Brazil.
