"If you plan to spend most of your time on the beach or playing at night...this property on the edge of Copa...is attractive for its access to restaurants and shopping."

Get a deluxe for the ocean view or risk a vista of a neighboring wall.
Lonely Planet
"The beach-facing location is the real draw. The standard rooms are too dark and cramped, so it's not worth staying here unless you book one of the deluxe rooms with those unobstructed ocean views." Full review
Star Service
"This midrange choice in the heart of Copacabana is a refreshing choice amidst a bevy of overpriced design hotels or poorly maintained cheaper hostelries." Full review

Fodor's
"The flagship of the Brazilian Othon chain, this 30-story hotel is not new, and its ambience is functional rather than luxurious."
Time Out
"Unspoilt views along Copacabana and very close to Ipanema, The Othon Palace is well located to get the best of both neighbourhoods and their beaches." Full review

ake your drink to the poolside and make the most of the view over to Sugarloaf Mountain, or head inside to the Lobby Bar where live music can be found from the afternoon.
Star Service
"Toward the Ipanema end of the Copacabana strip, this property is Othon's proud flagship." Full review

Avoid the unrenovated units on lower floors as they suffer from traffic noise and rickety furnishings.
Rough Guide
"With almost 600 guest rooms, this is a favourite of tour groups."
