Concierge "Until the Fasano showed up, this was the only top-tier hotel in Ipanema actually fronting the beach, and it remains to be seen how long it can rest on its location laurels."

Be sure to get a room that's been renovated.
DK Eyewitness "Service is superb in Caesar Park, a business hotel over looking Ipanema Beach. Views are excellent, as with the majority of Rio’s towerblock hotels."
Time Out "The lobby of Ipanema's Caesar Park begins to hint at the five-star prices in store with its restrained masculine tones and buffed floors." Full review
Star Service "Professional and attentive doormen welcome guests to a narrow yet contemporary marble lobby appointed with fresh flowers, Oriental rugs, objets d'art and parlor-style marble tables and chairs. " Full review
Rough Guide "One of Rio’s finest hotels, the Caesar Park features every modern luxury that its celebrity guests would expect."
Travel + Leisure "On a prime spot on famed Ipanema Beach, the Caesar Park is a favorite with top executives and visiting dignitaries." Full review

Don't miss the hotel's Galani restaurant for its award-winning Feijoada, Brazil's national dish, and local musicians on Saturdays.

"The sandy-toned lobby feels like an extension of the beach opposite, a trick that has been maintained throughout its rooms and suites. " Full review
Fodor's "This beachfront hotel has established itself among business travelers, celebrities, and heads of state...the suites are impressive, other rooms feel more functional than luxurious." Full review
Frommer's "The Sofitel is an elegant and sophisticated hotel with probably the best location in Rio: it sits right on Copacabana Beach, across from the fort, and Ipanema Beach is just a 5-minute walk away" Full review

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

"Orla Copacabana Hotel offers a prime location at the south end of Copacabana, just across from the beach on Avenida Atlantica." Full review
Lonely Planet "The Spanish-owned Orla Copacabana has some attractive, understated rooms, but the beach-facing location is the real draw" Full review
