Our stay at Miramar Hotel by Windsor in Copacabana was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, the customer service exceeded expectations. We arrived early, and the hotel graciously accommodated us with an early check-in, which made such a difference after traveling. The level of service throughout our stay was honestly some of the best I’ve experienced in a very long time. Our room was spotless every single day, and housekeeping was incredibly attentive. When we realized we needed a converter to charge our devices, the staff brought one up immediately without hesitation. The location is perfect — literally right across from Copacabana Beach — and the complimentary beach chairs, towels, and umbrella made the experience even better and so convenient. One thing that truly impressed us was the concierge/front desk service. We wanted to have dinner at a very popular steakhouse last minute, but reservations online were completely booked. The hotel staff actually called on our behalf and secured us a reservation within an hour! That level of hospitality and effort is rare. The breakfast was spectacular as well. There was an omelette station, fresh juices, and so much variety. The service during breakfast felt like dining in a true 5-star restaurant. And lastly, the rooftop pool and restaurant views are absolutely breathtaking. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Miramar Hotel by Windsor to anyone visiting Rio!
