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.”

One of the best places to stay in Rio
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.
Nothing that I can say.

This was an amazing vacation hotel. The location is right next to the beach. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean and quiet. The breakfast is top notch and the staff are very plentiful and helpful.
All was good.

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

Fantastic hotel with great facilities. The staff were very attentive. The room was very spacious and bathroom clean.

The rooftop pool was nice - a great viewpoint of the Sugar loaf mountain and the rest of the beach. Good WiFi. The food in the restaurant was amazing!

Excellent choice to stay at Miramar by Windsor on Copacabana Beach!
Perfect location, extensive and delicious breakfast, beautiful room overlooking Copacabana Beach, and friendly and helpful staff. A special thank you to João Marcelo Pais, the hotel’s Butler, who spent over 2 hours helping us after our domestic flight from Iguazu Falls to Buenos Aires was cancelled due to the Argentina union workers’ transportation ground strike. João was extremely patient and indispensable during a stressful time, and helped us find another flight into BA on a later date (via São Paulo) which would hopefully not be cancelled since it was an international flight. Thanks, João! You were right and we successfully made it to BA. We are so grateful to you for saving our vacation!

Lack of a bar under cover. Drinks from the rooftop bar were not particularly good

spacious room for a fair price in a so-so location
breakfast was excellent and not just the food; also the service.
Copacabana is not a prime location anymore, and the hotel is close to a "favela"

I will always book Miramar when staying in Rio! I highly recommend it!
The breakfast options were exceptional, the room service food was excellent. The housekeeper Marcela was super attentive, she really was the biggest factor in making my stay feel so welcome always going above and beyond when cleaning our room. The attentive staff was my favorite part of it all! The service is definitely top notch! 5 stars all throughout well deserved. I highly enjoyed that the bathroom had a bidet and that the lobby had a bar.
I have no real bad things to say about this hotel. The only thing I wish was that the pool was open for longer.

Fantastic hotel with great breakfast
We stayed here with our family of four, our twins are 7-years old. The breakfast and the rooftop pool and bar were the absolute highlights of this stay. The rooms were super nice, we had two rooms connected to each other and the rooms wew perfect in size, nice and clean and beautiful bathrooms.
Nothing to dislike. They charge extra for the breakfast (not included in the Booking.com rate) but totally worth it!

Amazing location!
Amazing location, comfortable and clean rooms, nice rooftop bar with tasty cocktails.
The pool was very small and crowded so difficult to use, but luckily the location right on Copacabana makes up for this, if you are happy to just be at the beach and not pool.

Home away from home
We were given an amazing room for one night, but then had to change rooms. The first night was awesome huge bathtub and ocean views. Italian restaurant was easy. Service was great.
Did not like having to change rooms, but that is OK

Very good area, right on Copacabana with the beach in front, for the price it is a good choice, clean hotel, ok services
The people at the reception are not really interested in helping you , I was bothered by the fact that I asked them to make a reservation for me at a restaurant, they told me that they didn't have space, but still I went there and managed to get in, I asked them to make a reservation for me at a spa, they told me that they didn't have availability and yet again I managed and did it alone. I asked in advance at 12 midnight for a cake with "happy birthday" for my husband in the room I have received it the next day at 3 p.m. We wanted tickets for the match on Maracana and they asked me 2000 BRL for 1 VIP tickets and we paid 600 BRL for the same tickets at the Flamengo official ticket office so they asked more than 3 times the money

A special hotel that we couldn't recommend more
The hotel is lovely with a fantastic rooftop bar and pool overlooking Copacabana. They also served our favourite Caipirinhas in Rio. Our room was spacious and had a gorgeous view of Copacabana. What's most important about the Windsor though is the staff. They are all so lovely and go out of their way to make the stay special. From Joao on the front desk to Rodrigo at the bar, the great cleaning staff and the fantastic chaps on the front door who offered us help and guidance throughout our trip.
Not a single thing.
