Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana

To be honest, the impression of the hotel is twofold. On the one hand, it is an exclusive hotel, on the other hand, there were so many people that I did not feel exclusivity. You can't push through the pool. For some reason, in order to get to the pool and the beautiful view, you need to ask the hostess (who, of course, ask with a menacing look if you have a reservation and that there are no places) and you stand behind a red rope that blocks your way. I was not very pleased with this. Perhaps this excludes a super big crush, but the effect itself that they are blocking my way for my money is not pleasant. A very interesting mattress, more like a feather bed. Soft, comfortable. The room is very, very dark - I did not like this either. It is very interesting that at breakfast nowhere is it offered (no picture/message, the waiters do not say) that you can order waffles, avocado toast, or something else. Why is this kept a secret? Why should I, upon accidentally seeing waffles on another table, ask: where can I find waffles?.. I don’t understand.

Fairmont Hotel rooms are very average, poor hygiene, loud noise, old towels, absolutely unworthy of the title of luxury hotel

A very well-located hotel in Copacabana for exploring Rio, with a panoramic view of Copacabana Beach. Superb service and amenities. First-rate spa. The atmosphere around the pool, with live music in the evening, was super pleasant. Nothing to complain about. A repeat stay.

Smell of pet dander in the room, the cleaning service cleaned it but it didn't solve it, I think the pet friendly area should be separated from the area for other couples, just like smokers, I can't stand the smell of dander in the room

Facing the edge of Copacabana Beach, it is safe and convenient for morning walks to the beach. The breakfast buffet is also plentiful, especially the freshly baked Pão de Queijo. The rooms have a historic feel and are comfortable, and we made extensive use of the gym.
