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 stay, great value for your money
The hotel is in a great location, a few steps from the beach. The staff is very nice and professional. The room was very comfortable, nice bed, great hot shower, thick towels, everything was great really, I would stay here again for sure. There is an Italian restaurant connected to the hotel that is top notch! I would highly recommend everyone try it.

Brilliant
Exceptional staff, very clean hotel! Beach was across the road but that did not take away from the experience! Hotel provided beach towel and has a stand on the beach for umbrellas and chairs! They even had small packs of mixed fruits provided free on the first day on the beach! Copacabana beach is to die for! Wave after wave! It was a great holiday with my adult daughters!! Unforgettable memories! I never had the hotel meals as I am not a breakfast person and preferred to eat out trying out different local delicacies!!

Amazing staff, amazing rooftop
Almost 200€ the room per night but you have to pay coffee in the room. It is a bit too light. Equipment in the room could be more modern. Air dryer is plugged but not enough leeway to use it properly. Rooms could benefit if a better soundproofing (we were at the 4th floor which was also a bit disappointing as we had an executive room)

Great hotel, my second time staying there. First time was with my wife, second time with Wife and kids (4 year old and 8
Well staffed and very helpful, Clean and was in a great location. Across the road from Post 5 Copacabana, and a short walk from Ipanema Beach. Plus the hotel have a section at the beach, where the have chairs and umbrella’s and provide Towels
Would’ve liked to see more Brazilian breakfast options available.

Great location and Views.
Loved the location and the view from our room. Staff were excellent, very helpful and informative. Felt very safe.
Housekeeping was a little lax on a day to day basis. All good when we arrived but then only little was done each day.

Excellent location Beach facilities across the road
Room - switches for lights - had to walk to front door to turn off. Couldn’t find master switch near bed. Charging for ice! Our room fridge had been turned off. We had no ice

Great location and awesome service
Excellent location, and the staff is really friendly and helpful. For instance, they keep someone at the beach in front to help us with towels, food, etc. Room was spacious, bed was very comfortable, and the shower might have been the best I’ve ever seen! We didn’t even know there was a pool available (and they allow full access during the entire day of checkout, which is really nice).

Fantastic hotel - highly recommended.
Staff were amazing and exceptionally helpful. Location right opposite the beach and within walking distance to metro was great. Breakfast and service very good.

Fabulous
I stayed for three nights and really enjoyed the breakfast — a wonderful spread with plenty of variety that I looked forward to each morning. The room offered a stunning ocean view right in front of Copacabana Beach, though it was a bit smaller than I had expected. The amenities were great overall.
Nothing particular.

Perfectly located with great views of Copacabana beach
Perfectly located with very friendly and accommodating staff, always ready to help. Great view from the terrace where you can enjoy a snack and/or drinks while taking a dip in the pool.
Cleanliness was a bit lacking in some instances, in the restaurant and terrace.

Fabulous stay in a lovely hotel with very friendly and helpful staff
Lovely hotel in a fabulous location. The staff were all friendly and very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Room were a good size and very clean. We paid extra for a sea view which was well worth it to watch the sunrise over Copacabana beach.

Fabulous Stay at Miramar by Windsor Copacabana Beach
The breakfast buffet was exceptional. Lots of variety with the option of eggs cooked to order. The location was fantastic! Beachfront hotel on Copacabana Beach. I booked a room with an ocean view and it was totally worth it. I saw the sun rise behind Sugarloaf Mountain in the mornings. The rooftop pool and bar were a nice additon to the hotel and great to have drink and food service while admiring the fabulous view. I ate twice at night at the Italian restaurant. It has a very high rating locally and my opinion deserves the rating. Room was confortable with very nice bedding.
Can't think of anything.

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.
