Location was perfect. Waking up to the sights and sounds with a sea front view room was just perfect. We had a family room with 2 doubles. Super clean hotel, breakfast was delicious, lobby comfy and staff friendly. Rooftop Pool, Skylab bar and drinks and food very amazing! Best views! Kids club available, seemed good and super safe for little ones. Beach towels and chairs complimentary across the road at Wave Othon. Also 10% off food.

The bedrooms and bathrooms are a little tired but renovations are taking place. Beds were a little bit bouncy. The pool and restaurant terraces which have been completed are very modern, stylish and have a luxury feel. The room although termed ‘luxury’ was not really but that’s as we expected. Complimentary toiletries are quite low quality, if you’re fussy bring your own.

Excellent champagne breakfast in temporary Skylab Restaurant -Beautiful views of Copacabana Beach.Staff were very pleasant plenty of table service.

We didn’t like the renovations with the white net blocking our full view of Copacabana beach from our balcony and also the noise. Skylab Restaurant & pool not available.

Location fronting the beach was excellent. Breakfast was plentiful and diverse. View from the room was very nice. Lots of shops to walk to.

Rooms were a bit dated and had the old power outlets which did not work with new converter I had brought. On the day of my sons wedding, the power went out in the hotel. It was off most of the day. It was a huge inconvenience and caused very difficult situations. The hotel did compensate us for the one day hotel charge so I feel like they did the best they cold to fix the situation. Thank you for that.

We got an upgrade from Super Luxury Room with Frontal Sea View to Suite with Frontal Sea View . The view is absolutely fantastic . The facilities must have been exceptional when the hotel was new but now the lack of refurbishmente in recent years shows clearly wich is a pity because due to the location and (for Copacabana) exceptional height of the building the comfort could be exceptional . Breakfast at the Skylab restaurant was exceptional and all meals which we had at this restaurant were very good and also the service . The fitness center of the hotel is so well equipped that it could serve professional athletes . Check-in and check-out were fast and friendly .

As mentioned above , the hotel needs a general refurbishment , especially the rooms . Certain items seem to be overpriced like beveridges from the minibar and the parking facility .

Hotel Othon Rio Palace is very good. The rooms are not luxury but super comfortably. One of the best hotels in Copacabana. Close to tradicional restaurants and bops in this area where you can drink a tasty shop. Shop means beer. The rooftop is beautiful with a view to Pão de açúcar. Tou can make gorgeous pictures from that point. You have many leisure options inside the property. Spa, gym, playground for the kids. De staff is friendly and helps you every time. Breakfast is a topical Brazilian breakfast with cuscuz, pão de queijo and many fruit options. Super tasty!

Behind the door was dirty.

Perfect location

Not enough chairs for guests on the beach

Amazing location. We'd reserved a room with a side sea view and we're glad we did: We walked into a room on the 23rd floor that was full of light and with a panoramic view of the beach below, and of fort and hills off in the distance. We often spend are first day in Rio when my wife and I come to Brazil to visit her family. We both decided the Othon will be "our" hotel for future stays.

Don't forget to pack your patience because both checkin and checkout can take an unbelievably long time: 30 min and 15 min for us. Plus, we paid by credit card during checkin but receptionist couldn't find record of the payment during checkout. We hadn't been given a receipt so had to use the credit card app to prove we paid.

Everything

The location is amazing. The year before this trip i stayed at a hotel just at the back of Othon and this one is definitely a lot better. The rooftop is great (although we weren't lucky with the weather), the view and the pool are nice. The rooms are clean and nice. Breakfast was good with lots of options and overlooking the beach.

The only downside was the waiting trying to get the lift up or down. Sometimes it took us 10-15 min because not all of the lifts were working or coming up completely full.

This was my second trip to Brazil in the last few months. There were so many sights to see, events to attend, friends to talk to and places to go. From the arrival at the hotel, I was checked in by Daniel, who began the introduction to a exceptional experience. The service, care and quality I received went beyond mere hospitality. From ensuring I was comfortable with the room, assisting with a magnificent upgrade, to finding the best porter whos kindness is usually found among friends. The location, food and views were amazing. Yet what really really set this apart what happened about half way through the trip. I had received some bad news that morning and overcome with emotion shed tears into my breakfast. Again the staff was there, as Neide calmed me, consoled me and was ready to provide anything to make my stay better. Trying to make the most of the day, a conversation with the staff and concierge got me tickets to a Samba school where I dance the night away, with new friends I met and let the cares wash away. I ended my trip with a calm night sitting on the rocks watching the sun set. Ive been to 25 countries around the world, and most major US cities, stayed in countless hotels, even worked with a few. I can say with full confidence that my experience would have been less then memorable if not for such a tremendous service and care that I received. Just in case my sincere and heartfelt response wasn't informative enough. The Rio Othon is (currently) the tallest, this not only offers the best views it also makes it easy to spot. The beach spots, restaurants and shops near by make the location very convenient. Yet one of the best things about this is the familiarity, with my limited Brazilian not needed, I simply held up by room key to taxis and with a nod was on the way. I recommend everyone visit Rio at least once. Book in advance for the best deals. And even it its only for a day, stay at the Rio Othon its an experience you wont forget. Thank you All.

The heat made the sun room hotter than the rest of the room. Not sure that's anything that's not unexpected.
