Miramar Hotel by Windsor, Rio de Janeiro
Expert reviews
“Winner of a TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Award for 2015, the Miramar has a prime Copacabana beachfront location, walking distance from Ipanema Beach and the subway to get downtown. Though the less expensive rooms don’t face the beach, anyone can take in a panoramic view of Copacabana, including a glimpse of Sugarloaf Mountain, from the rooftop pool and bar.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Rio de Janeiro.
“Copacabana may not have the glamour of yore, but once you’ve walked inside the discreet entrance of this hotel and been met with a glass of champagne, you will discover there is still plenty of glitz to be found here. Expect panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and first-class service.”

Great location, posto 5 copacabana, within walking distance from Ipanema and stores in Rua Visconde de Pirajá. Helpful staff. Clean and modern rooms and bathrooms. Excellent buffet breakfast. Good restaurant for a lunch or dinner. Small pool but good sauna.

Location and staff fantastic, restaurant needs work
The location, the staff, the room all were great.
The restaurant downstairs was just ok and expensive for what you got. We went there for dinner and breakfast. At breakfast, the things in the warming dishes were all cold! Scrambled eggs are not nice when they are cold.

Staff at front desk and bellman were excellent. Special recognition to Danielle, Thaiot, and J. Breakfast was great. Beach access was excellent. Good value.
Need more drawer/storage space in room, and a place to hang wet swimsuits in the bathroom.

Breakfast is excellent, very good location, near Copacabana and Ipanema beach, safe area, reserved place at the beach for the hotel guests, free towels, sun ambarella and chairs
We have been waiting for check in too long, lack of interest by reception staff to make us that part more comfortable

Location is excellent. Pool is really sheltered.
It can get really busy by the pool and the sun beds are really squashed together. One of the days our room didn't get cleaned till 3pm.

Superb hotel with views over Copacabana beach
Perfect beachfront location for exploring Copacabana and Ipanema on foot. Excellent staff. Great breakfast. Paying extra to have the ocean view was well worth it. But if you'd rather not - you get the same incredible views from the roof top bar and pool.

A great place to stay on Copacabana
The Miramar by Windsor Copacabana Is a luxury hotel, although very good value. The staff are obviously highly trained and are very attentive to the needs of the guests. The rooms are very comfortable, and we enjoyed our ocean view. The restaurant was exceptional and we enjoyed two delicious dinners there as well as our breakfasts. The rooftop bar and pool area was ideal to relax in the evening, with a wonderful view of the whole of Copacabana Beach. A highly recommended hotel! I would definitely stay there again.
Very little. Slight ongoing issue with our key cards, but did not spoil our stay.

Amazing hotel on Copacabana beach
We came to Miramar by Windsor for a New Year celebration to watch the fireworks, which was excellent. The location could not be better. We had a spacious room on the 15th floor with a wonderful ocean view, and the fireworks were right before our window. It was an unforgettable experience The hotel was immaculately clean and the service was top-notch. The breakfast was amazing with fresh bread, fruits, eggs, and much more. We had a great time! Thanks for everything!

Brilliant Stay
The staff were very friendly. Whenever we left to go in the taxi, they would open the taxi door for us and shelter us with an umbrella if it was raining. They offered ponchos for when it rained and offered general tourist advice. Welcomed with drinks and bright smiles. They did their best to help out my cousin who was having issues with her SIM card. Good location in copacabana. Right by the beach. Definitely recommend this hotel!
Nothing to fault

It was wonderful.
Hotel Location (right on the beach and near restaurants) and super friendly/helpful staff
The room to temporarily store luggage are too small. They could not accommodate our luggage. The hotel also charges for coffee that is kept in the room, which I don’t think is reasonable given what the hotel charges for the room rate.

Very good
The hotel staff was incredible but the only exception was my check-in. He pointed out my booking was vi booking.com and proceeded to give me the worst room in the category (floor 1)….I asked if there was something else available and he said no. I went to the room nd there was hardly n ocean view. I checked on their website nd there were other rooms available in the category. I had to call front desk and complain, and they shifted me to another room on floor 5 which was good. Besides this , everything else was great. They even opened the restaurant for me at 5am on the day of my departure so I could eat breakfast…this was unexpected and incredible
The check in experience as described above

Everything I expected and more!
I enjoyed just one night at this beautiful hotel, and was very sad to leave! Staff were very welcoming and helpful and I was very grateful to be allowed to check in a little early. I had a beautiful room on the 12th floor with the most fantastic view of Copacabana. The bed was very comfortable and hotel was overall quiet and peaceful. I thoroughly enjoyed the extensive breakfast. I didn't require any extra information on tours and activities in Rio, but this was readily available. I travelled to the airport a number of hours after checkout, and the lobby was a lovely place to relax while waiting to leave.
I didn't allow myself enough time to enjoy the beautiful pool and rooftop terrace. I look forward to returning someday. Thank you!

The staff were amazing and extremely helpful. The breakfast was great.
The breakfast can be varied slightly because if you have a long stay it can get boring. One or two items can be added every few days

I'll highlight the location, the quality of the breakfast, and the willingness to help their staff. We spent our anniversary there, and everyone helped me with recommendations and even booked a nice restaurant for us.

Perfect beach location
Loved the view of the beach and Sugarloaf mountain from my room. The hotel is very nicely located for the beach - they even provided towels and beach chairs. It was very easy to get to all the attractions and nearby restaurants.

Hotel is fine but could do more to accommodate business travelers
Deluxe room was spacious, bed comfortable, water pressure strong, breakfast options good, convenient to Ipanema and Copacabana
Fitness facility was cramped and limited. Ocean view on 2nd floor not impressive Could not accommodate early check in or provide adequate facility for me to clean up before business meetings. Hotels in Ipanema have been much more accommodating. Stayed for 5 nights
