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.

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

The facilities are good and, above all, the staff are very friendly.

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.

Excellent hotel, but check-in and check-out could be better organized, very time consuming, messy and disorganized for a hotel of this level.

Fairmont is very new, with complete facilities and very good services. The swimming pool is very beautiful. I highly recommend this hotel to Chinese people visiting Rio.
