Miramar by Windsor Copacabana Review

A 198-room hotel on Avenida Atlântica in Copacabana, facing the beach at its southern end.

Best for

A first trip that wants choice and a metroTravellers who want the beach at a rate Ipanema will not giveAnyone arriving without a plan

Why it stands out

The end of the beach it is on. Posto 6 is the calmer half of a four-kilometre curve, and which end you are on changes the walk every day.

Main trade-off

Copacabana scores 4.5 for quietness, the second-lowest in the city, and Avenida Atlântica is a six-lane road between you and the sand.

Why we recommend it

Best on the big beach

Our pick for Copacabana because it sits on Avenida Atlântica at the Posto 6 end, where the beach curve closes and the crowds thin, with the metro two streets behind it.
