Rio de Janeiro - Hotels Premier Copacabana Palace 5 Certain hotels symbolise the glamour of a city and keep its history alive and the Copacabana Palace is one of them. Located on Copacabana Beach and just minutes away from the centre of Rio, it lives and breathes the spirit of the city. This hotel is the legendary meeting place of Rio's high society. For decades, film stars, princesses and politicians have come here for the fine cuisine, the dancing, the superb service and the sheer sophistication. Opened in 1923, the hotel retains its original character and is today owned by the luxury Orient Express Group. It is famed for its opulent lounges, bar and restaurants, and the sophisticated Cipriani Restaurant is the hotel's gastronomic flagship. All of the rooms and suites are decorated with fine period furniture and offer views of the ocean, the spectacular swimming pool, or Copacabana Avenue.

Every year, for five full days, the streets and beaches of Rio come to life and partying until dawn becomes compulsory. There is an endless succession of extravagant floats, brilliant costumes, magical music and amazingly energetic dancers. The main organised processions take place on Sunday and Monday in the specially constructed Sambadrome, with a smaller `winners' parade' on the following Saturday. In addition to the street parties and samba parades, many hotels and bars hold carnival balls which cater for all ages and tastes. If you'd like to join the party, ask us for details. Carnival dates: 03Feb-06Feb08, 20Feb-25Feb09 We can arrange tickets for the main parades and winners' parade. Please ask for more details and prices.
