I booked Porto Bay after seeing it's #1 ranking here at TripAdvisor. It's a nice hotel, for sure. I enjoyed the views from the room (side ocean view from the balcony), the rooftop pool, and found the location to be convenient for business but also sightseeing and eating out. It was great to be able to go for a jog... more

This hotel was fantastic in every way. We were greeted with champagne and friendly staff. Marco helped us book a front window table at Porcao for dinner the first night. Excellent. I had a flower in the room when I arrived, and then a second rose with turn down service. I was treated like Royalty. Staff spoke English well, and... more

We stayed in this hotel for 4 nights at the start of August and enjoyed every moment. It is a real haven for relaxing in the middle of a busy city. From the moment you arrive (and are greeted with a glass of champagne!) the staff are at hand to help in every way possible. The breakfast room/restaurant is on... more

We stayed in an ocean-view room for four (4) nights at the beginning of a three-week Brazii trip. It was a great way to start our visit. Our 8th floor room had a huge balcony with spectacular views of Copacabana Beach to the south and of Sugar Loaf to the north. The room was large and equipped with two (2)... more

We booked a front room with a balconey. Worth the extra for this iconic view. Liked the contemporary design and breakfeasts. Pop over to the Copacabana Palace for afternoon tea (Winter only) Beach was clean. Definitely take a walk, as we did all the way down to Ipanema beach (1hr or so) have a snack at La Garot da Ipanema... more
