Copacabana Palace, Art Deco hotel in Copacabana, Brazil

Copacabana Palace is a six-story building with a white facade directly on Avenida Atlântica in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The structure extends along an entire city block and offers views of Copacabana beach and the Atlantic.

French architect Joseph Gire designed the building between 1919 and 1923 to receive visitors attending Brazil's Independence Centennial Exhibition in 1922. A demolition threat emerged in the 1980s, but national heritage listing preserved the structure.

The entrance on Avenida Atlântica features a wide staircase and columns in a neoclassical style, recalling grand European palaces. Inside, the public rooms are finished with marble, chandeliers, and gilded details that preserve the glamour of the 1920s.

Access is through Avenida Atlântica, and the building is equipped with elevators and wheelchair-accessible facilities. The lobby and public areas are open during the day, while the pool and spa facilities are reserved for guests.

The inner courtyard houses a large pool surrounded by palm trees, creating a contrast with the urban surroundings. Many guests use this space as a quiet retreat amid the busy beach life of Copacabana.
