Fodor's Review:

This hotel, part of the Windsor chain, may have been built in the 1950s, but its look is sleek and contemporary -- from the sparkling marble lobby to the guest-room closets paneled in gleaming jacaranda (Brazilian redwood). Service is top-rate. The expansive breakfast buffet is served in the hotel's window-banked restaurant facing the avenue and beach. The equally elaborate lunch and dinner buffets cost roughly R$35. The rooftop bar-pool area offers an escape from the hustle and bustle. Ask for a room with a view over Copacabana Beach.
