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.”

Amazing
Everything was outstanding, location, staff, room (I received an upgrade). Restaurant for breakfasts and dinners is very good
Hotel helps with transportation, taxis near the hotel but, I felt I was overcharged for a very short ride. An Uber was 1/3 of cost in n comparison with that taxi

We loved our stay here at Miramar. The staff was exceptional and helped make our stay perfect.
The view from the room was just what we wanted. All of the staff were exceptional. Everyone was very professional, nice and always willing to help with a smile. We enjoyed our stay very much and would not change a thing. The pillows were comfy too and nice size room and bathroom. Also, a bonus that we had free chairs and umbrellas at the beach.
I seriously cannot think of a thing.

The establishment contributed to making our visit to Rio an enjoyable and memorable experience and will definitely be go
We had spent 7 days at this establishment and would recommend it as excellent choice. The front desk staff were superb as well as restaurant staff.
The only point to mention and this is more of feedback to the establishment and not criticism is to ensure there are more deck chairs on the beach. On some occasion had to wait for 30 mins for deck chairs to be available but this was superbly managed by excellent beach staff.

We can't wait to come back!
We had a lovely stay here for nearly a week and were beyond impressed with the service from all staff! We always felt safe and taken cared of. There is also a complimentary chair/umbrella service on Copacabana beach right in front of the hotel which is very convenient!

Beautiful introduction to Rio. Will certainly stay here again when our travels bring us back to Rio
Beautiful property! The rooftop pool and bar/restaurant was a plus. The staff were all excellent! Any issue that came up was handled immediately with a smile. One person in our party lost his phone in town and they assisted with filing a police report that will help with insurance. Rooms are well appointed with comfortable beds. Very safe location with visible security at the entrance.

Amazing beach front hotel
An outstanding hotel in an ideal location, offering breathtaking ocean views and just steps away from the beach. The staff were warm, courteous, and provided fantastic recommendations for tours and dining. Breakfast featured a wide and satisfying selection. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will absolutely return.
9 April 2025
We’d stay again!!
Breakfast was excellent. Everything you could want including the best fresh tropical fruits. Polite and helpful welcome on arrival. Marvellous value for money.
Alloro restaurant was not good. We had only a pasta but it was too salty to eat. We do not recommend Alloro.

Wonderful location across from the beach. Very helpful staff. Fabulous breakfast!

Fantastic stay
Amazing hotel with great customer service but overpriced. They charge you for an empty glass. They also charged us for a few ice cubes
8 April 2025
Good experience over all, but not a five star establishment.
hotel personnel were outstanding! Could not do enough for us. I would return solely due to the outstanding hotel staff. Breakfast was good but a bit over priced
Even though the hotel claims to be a Five star hotel, in reality, it is a strong four star establishment in my humble opinion. The room was a bit dated in apperance Floors were very damaged

Best hotel I have ever stayed in, superb breakfasts
fabulous welcome, quick efficient and a glass of fizz offered as well, really attentive polite staff, very clean
only thing I would comment on was the air conditioning was on a bit too high and felt a bit cold in the reception area

Highly recommend to stay, great location, very friendly staff and environment, clean and memorable. We loved it and will
Likes: -staff were genuinely friendly and helpful in the lobby and reception (all of them but I’d like to mention JaIran and Alexander to have a special appreciation for them). They spent so much time explaining attractions and sharing their information. Also had laughter with them which made my time even more memorable. - great pool facilities. They had even thought of your beach towel and umbrella. - Rooms, gym, sauna and pool were very clean. - fantastic view. - when we arrived one of the drinks bottles was empty and we hadn’t noticed until the second day but when we raised it with reception, they trusted us straight away and refilled with no charges. What could improve: Room’s hair dryer could be a better one.

Best sunrise! Thank you
Dear Miramar, This has been the best sunrise of the year so far! The location on Copacabana Beach is simply stunning. The top floor is a true gem, complete with a pool area and breathtaking views of both sunsets and sunrises! Every cent we spent was absolutely worth it – thank you so much for an unforgettable experience! As for the downsides: the kitchen could use some improvement. It wasn't anything exceptional, but to be honest, food isn't our main focus. Overall, we had an amazing time!

Overall a lovely hotel
The Hotel is in a lovely position overlooking the beach. The staff were very nice and helpful and I thought it was pretty good value for money, We had trips organised by the hotel and also outside agencies and found the hotel price to be very competitive in comparison, The breakfast was very good and fresh fruit as well as cooked breakfast was available Overall a lovely place to stay for the week
The only downside for me was the beds were very firm to hard and unfortunately I had a sore back waking up every morning which got worse as the week went on, House keeping did place a thick blanket under the sheet to try and soften the bed but unfortunately it didn't do much. If you don't mind a firm mattress you should be fine.

Wonderful and would definitely go back and stay here
Super room, fantastic location opposite the beach. Staff were amazing and so helpful. Highly recommend the hotel
The gym was not the best
25 March 2025
Lovely atmosphere and rooftop pool. Would absolutely recommend!
The breakfast was amazing and the staff were very friendly. They were very accommodating and you felt very safe in the hotel.
There were a few marks on the walls and scuffs on doors in the room that wouldn’t normally be seen in a five star. That said I am absolutely nitpicking as another 5 star hotel down the road we stayed at initially was in much much much worse condition. I would still recommend people to stay here
24 March 2025
Wonderful hotel, service was exceptional, the room quiet and comfortable, the pool and bar relaxing.
I liked the sparkling wine when checking-in, I liked the chocolate left in the room each day. The staff were attentive and friendly, the bed was comfortable and the views from the sun terrace were fantastic.
the pool was a little on the small side if I was to be picky.

Fantastic location, literally across the road from the beach. Walking distance to other areas. The hotel itself was beautiful and well looked after. Breakfast was lovely and restaurant excellent.
My only, very small complaint was the size of the pool. But I understand it is rooftop so space limited anyway. The bar attached was lovely with good service.

Amazing staff helped with suggestions on what to do, location was right on the beach and was perfect
Room was a bit small and could have had a netflix option

Beautiful!
The hotel experience was truly remarkable! The staff were professional and attentive. The restaurant was nice. The rooftop pool was beautiful. My biggest concern was the lack of piece of mind in the booking process. The fraudulent messages I received on multiple occasions suggesting I hadn’t paid and might lose my reservation. Upon contacting the hotel directly, I was reassured. However, no one wants to go through that. But, I was pleased to see the seamless check in upon arrival. The check in time was minimal and the staff were very well prepared. I would highly recommend the hotel and would stay again.
It was a bit pricey. To provide everything that was provided without compromising on quality and cleanliness can still be achieved for a little less, I think.

Great base for a Rio visit
Comfortable bed, clean room, showers that worked well, brilliant buffet breakfast with a freshly cooked egg station and really friendly, helpful staff. Restaurant prices reasonable too.

The hotel is located right in front of one of Copacabana's landmarks - Posto 5. There are plenty of services and restaurants around to choose from. The staff was super friendly. The view from the rooftop is great and the pool area quite good. The breakfast was fantastic!
