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

"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
Lonely Planet Top Choice

Frommer's "The only thing that keeps this Rio design hotel from getting three stars is its location just off the busy Avenida N.S. de Copacabana." Full review
Concierge "One of the first hotels in Rio to squeeze into the "designer boutique" bracket—just—the 66-room Portinari is located down a side street in Copacabana."

Do some research before requesting a room so you'll know what you're getting.

DK Eyewitness "Copacabana’s only boutique hotel has a series of designer suites in a business-like, tall, narrow tower."
Rough Guide "One of the few hotels in Rio that dares to be a bit different. Each floor has been conceived by a different Brazilian designer, with some much more successful than others."
Lonely Planet "This stylish 13-story hotel demonstrates real design smarts."
