History

Ever since Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire waltzed into the Palace in the classic Flying Down to Rio in 1933, the Belmond Copacabana hotel has fascinated many famous stars. Stars such as Orson Welles, Marlene Dietrich, Pavarotti, and Brigitte Bardot. Even great personalities like Madonna and the Rolling Stones could not resist its charm. However, before seeing the bright lights of stardom and becoming the ultimate destination today, the hotel served a different purpose.

It was initially intended to open in 1922 during the time of Brazil's independence. However, it opened its doors a year later. This was due to its complete transformation-from a dull area to an ultimate visitors' spot. It quickly became a magnet for the elite and the civil. The French architect Joseph Gire designed it, keeping the great Riviera seaside hotels as its theme, the Carlton in Cannes mainly.

Soon after, Ella Fitzgerald performed in the hotel's Golden Room. This swiftly made the ticket to Carnival Ball the most prized thing in town. In 1960 when Rio lost its principal status to Brasilia, the Palace's fortune suffered from decline. However, Belmond, then known as Orient-Express, arrived in 1989, again steering the hotel to prosperity.
