Fodor's Review:

Built in 1923 for the visiting king of Belgium and inspired by Nice's Negresco and Cannes's Carlton, the Copacabana was the first luxury hotel in South America, and it is still one of the top hotels on the continent. Marlene Dietrich, Robert De Niro, and Princess Di have stayed here. It has a neoclassical facade and one of the city's largest and most attractive swimming pools. One of its two restaurants, the Cipriani, is rated among the city's best for its northern Italian cuisine. The Saturday feijoada is extraordinary.
