The Windsor Palace

Jump to:

At the Windsor Palace you're in the heart of Rio where you'll have access to one of the world’s most famous beaches.

The hotel is ideal for those wanting a comfortable stay, a warm reception, and an amiable atmosphere, while also being close by to some of the best bars, restaurants, and shops in the city.

OUR OPINION:

A good-value option right in the heart of Copacabana. The hotel has been recently renovated to include soundproof floors and windows, keeping city noise to a minimum.

      The beaches are an excellent place to watch cariocas jogging, strutting and walking their poodles in the sunshine. You set the pace and if there is time you will also be able to circle the Lagoa before returning to your hotel.
