Miramar Hotel by Windsor, Rio de Janeiro

Av. Atlântica, 3668 - Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, 22070-001, Brazil (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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.

Telegraph review:

“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.”

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

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.

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.

First rate experience in a perfectly positioned hotel.

Location is excellent. Staff are really good and will help with anything. Restaurant for breakfast is superb both food and staff, had one evening meal in the restaurant the menu is Italian and was first rate. The prices are reasonable and the free sun beds on the beach are a really great. Beach is packed at weekends but the staff always found room for us. Rooftop bar is good and the bar food is up to the standard of the rest of the hotel. I would definitely stay here again if I returned to Rio. The hotel faces sunrise and every morning there were several hundred paddle boarders waiting for sun up and cheered when it came up.

There was nothing that caused a problem but If I was being picky the coffee pods in the room were not free and I would have expected them to be included in a 5 star hotel so nothing to stop me booking again.

Excellent hotel excellent staff

The staff was beyond excellent. The staff at the front desk were friendly, informative and went beyond. They helped me get ahold of the tour operator when they didn't show up in time. What I really appreciate was an early checking. It made all the difference since we had flown a very long way. I know it is not always possible to do this

Can not think of a thing. This place is such a great value. Please continue to do all your doing.

It was great.

Location is great - across the street from Copacabana Beach as all hotels are - none on the water side. Close to Ipanema beach as well. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The view from the pool deck gorgeous! The pool is small but all he hotel pools are small in Rio. The partial beach view wasn't much. But there was a lovely tree outside our room. And a great cafe and pharmacy around the corner. The hotel is not North American 5* standard but I would say a 4* at best. It was clean and not run down. It just wasn't fancy.

Could use more pool deck chairs but I did love all the tables for having a drink and a snack as well.

Outstanding staff and hidden gem!

The view was sensational. The staff and service was outstanding. Always clean, food was excellent- so much choice for breakfast. Best hotel ever stayed in for this kind of trip. It was our honeymoon and could t have chosen better place.

Would be good to have parasols at the pool as it was so hot (which is a great problem to have) genuinely the only thing could have improved on

perfect weekend stopover at Rio Copacabana beach, I definitely will come again soon

Perfect location, directly at Copacabana beach (Posto 5). Stunning breakfast buffet, amazing view from the room and the roof top over whole Copacabana beach till sugarloaf. Was already more than 6 times guest at Miramar Hotel, I think this says everything!

late checkin time (3pm) does not fit to flight arrival time - had to wait 1,5 hours to receive access to my room, the rest was just perfect!

Our stay at Miramar was absolutely perfect, as always. From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the entire staff made us feel right at home. The room was amazing—cozy, beautifully decorated, and featuring an incredibly comfortable infinity bed that ensured a restful night's sleep. The restaurant staff were exceptionally friendly and kind, and the breakfast was nothing short of fantastic. The delicious food was the perfect way to start our days and prepare for exploring the beauty of Rio de Janeiro. The pool area was simply unbelievable, offering stunning views that made it hard to leave. The hotel’s location is ideal, and the beach service was impeccable, adding to the overall flawless experience. There are only amazing things to say about Miramar, which is why we always choose to stay here. It’s a truly special place that never disappoints.

It’s always bittersweet to leave Miramar and return to the chilly streets of London. This paradise will be dearly missed until we can return.

Good value for money and very friendly

Our deluxe sea view room had an amazing view of the beach. All staff were friendly and almost all spoke good English, including front desk, concierges. We were let in early to our room which was helpful. Our luggage was stored after we checked out. There are free chairs and towels for guests on the beach opposite, which is supervised by hotel staff

We asked about a car to the airport and were quoted a large amount. We decided to get an Uber which was very reasonable in comparison.

Great stay - wonderful hotel

Great hotel, perfectly located if you want to be on Copacabana Beach. Wonderful views of the bay, including Sugar Loaf from our room. The prices of drinks were reasonable, and we ate in the Restaurant once when we were tired after a day being tourists. The standard of the food surprised us very pleasantly, and we had a really excellent bottle of Brazilian red wine (Familia Bebber - Cabernet Franc) at a very good price. The restaurant didn't seem to be very popular - perhaps because it's in the hotel and a white table cloth kind of place. Shame - the food is very good and service excellent. For more informal dining, try Venga, about 150 yards to the South along the Avenida Atlantica.

Check out is 1200 which is very good, unless you arrive early and are hoping for a room to be ready! We arrived at 0800 from our flight and got into our room at 1400.
