Miramar Hotel by Windsor Hotel

Lovely hotel experience which exceeded our expectations Allowed to check in early after a long flight and leave late on departure:Typical of Miramar services to guests. The staff are welcoming and attentive to the guests' needs without being overly attentive or excessive in their presence. Location was perfect, upper end of beach towards Ipanema. Very comfortable beds, strong shower. Super fancy five star hotel. Beautiful rooms with beautiful views. Breakfast was amazing, lots of choices. The view from the rooftop pool is amazing. My next trip to Rio is definitely gonna be at the Miramar.

Luxury hotel with a relaxed welcoming atmosphere. The staff is as professional as you would expect from such a luxury hotel, but what impressed us most of all was the General Manager, who was always around and personally made sure everyone was well looked after. They speak very good English making it an accommodating stay for people who speak little Portuguese. The hotel was spotless. The breakfasts were amazing with champagne and a food selection beyond imagination. One of the better hotels I've ever stayed at. Great value for the cost. I will always stay at this hotel when I come to Brazil.

We chose this hotel for the location which is right on Copacabana beach. The twin room is clean and good quality with two large beds. It was my friend's birthday and the hotel kindly provided a cake in the room which was. A lovely touch. They also arranged a late check out for us at no extra cost and lent us a charger. We did not choose the breakfast option but there are a number of nice options nearby. Location of Miramar hotel is fantastic. Just at Copacabana and famous boulevards of Avenida Atlantica. Excellent for long walks alongside the ocean. The rooms are very clean and spacious enough. Equipped with all necessary facilities including coffee machine. Friendly staff are on hand everywhere and more than happy to help with taxis, restaurant recommendations and reservations. They all spoke excellent English, and at least one or two other languages by the sound of it. Reception have plug socket adapters available if you need them, it says in many places online that the common European 2-prong plug works in Brazil but they do not fit properly in the sockets in this hotel. Breakfast is a buffet, served in the Sá restaurant.

I don't know were to start as the Hotel and staff were superb! The breakfast was top class with so much to choose from, there was something for any palette. The roof top pool was an added bonus with amazing views of the whole of Copacabana beach and nice bar with snacks, it was so much more relaxing than the beach. The room was spacious we had a superior double room, the house keeping team kept the room spotless and the chocolates on your bed at turn down was a nice touch. I cannot say enough about the fantastic team that work here they were brilliant. We will definitely go back.

This was our first time staying at the Miramar and would highly recommend it to others. The hotel is on the beach front and the rooms are nice, it is worth upgrading for more space and it is also worth requesting a room without an adjoining door for noise purposes. They have replaced l'occitane products with a cheaper brand which was slightly disappointing. The breakfast buffet is fantastic with a massive choice and omelette and crepe bar. They provide free beach chairs and umbrellas and often bring free fruit and snacks round for guests. The staff are very helpful and assisted us straight away with a dodgy taxi driver. Stay here, you won't regret it.

Like most Rio hotels it seems, the Windsor Miramar is very uninspiring from the outside. But inside all changes into discrete luxury. All the staff were very helpful, most spoke good English (important as hardly anyone speaks Portuguese as a second language) and were plentiful. We were apparently upgraded, although our travel agent had already booked a 'superior' room. Whatever, it was indeed superior. Perfect view out to Copacabana beach. Huge comfy bed. Giant 2 person jacuzzi bath in large bathroom. The rooftop (16th floor) pool area is perfect to sit and admire the views, have a drink, snack and indeed swim! Unless you want and are able to choose the Copacabana Palace hotel (twice + price), and having talked with several others who arrived in Rio with us via the cruise ship, this seems to be the top hotel.
