This is a modern 14 storey hotel just one block away from Copacabana beach. There are local shops for water etc within a few minutes walk of the hotel and an ATM just over the road at HSBC Bank. The hotel is clean and offers a good breakfast buffet. Staff seem friendly and helpful. The dinner buffet and a la... more

This was one of the designated "conference" hotels so we stayed there with other participants. Otherwise Ipanema is the much better location. The room was spotless, breakfast was great and the staff very helpful. We enjoyed the good caipirinhas at the roof top bar. We booked through http://www.brazilianvacation.com and got better rates than the conference offered. more

We had a great time at this hotel. The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly (although we did catch one of them just pretending to understand what we were saying when we spoke English). Many people have commented about the lack of net curtains, but I can only assume they didn't notice the windows are mirrored so you're pretty... more

My husband and I travelled for business and were very satisfied with the professional staff, but the rooms are terrible. First of all, the rooms are extremely dim and we faced other windows. Since the curtains were black out curtains, natural light was at a minimum. secondly, the bedding and towels were pretty awful. Rough sheets, rough towels, no wash... more

After one night I moved out of the Plaza. The aircon did not work well and the room was very hot and stuffy. To make matters worse, there were no non smoking rooms available.

It's a very nice hotel, with an excelent breakfast and great meals, just 2 minutes walking to reach copacabana beach and near several restaurants. The staf is very helful. I had a really nice time there more

If you just want a place to crash then this is the hotel for you. If you plan to spend time in your room working or relaxing - find something better and more comfortable. All the other reviews are correct so I won't repeat here. Nobody has mentioned the awful towels, thin and rough and no wash cloths. This is... more

My girlfriend and I visited The Windsor Copacabana in August 2008 and have nothing but praise for this hotel. We were a bit worried about security before visiting Rio, however our fears were completely unfounded. The hotel is located in, what seemed, a safe area with security outside the hotel at all times. Staff were very pleasant, breakfast was excellent,... more

A nice hotel in a good location. Receptionists very friendly and helpful and only minutes away from the famous beach( overated) Rooms were a little dark as they backed onto the centre of hotel but it was very comfortable and clean. Breakfasts were plentiful and there is a lovely rooftop bar and pool. In a very safe area with lots... more
