Smart Splurge
The 222-room Copacabana Palace, now part of the Orient-Express hotel group, has been welcoming well-heeled guests (including the likes of Walt Disney, Liza Minelli, Oscar de la Renta, and Princess Diana) since 1923, when it opened as Rio's first world-class resort. Ipanema may be cleaner and trendier,… more but if you insist on Grand Dame accommodations that evoke the Art Deco-era glamour of the Cote d'Azure, well, this is it. Just keep in mind that Copacabana can get choked with busloads of tourists, package-tour operators, trinket vendors, and bauble shops (Ipanema is a 25-minute walk away). As long as you're ensconced here, why not go all the way? With spacious private verandas overlooking the crescent-shaped beach, the penthouse suites offer the most exhilarating views (though one of the seven suites has a less-spectacular city view). Even if you don't stay overnight, head to the hotel's informal Pérgula for afternoon tea next to the sexy "semi"-Olympic-size pool – or play dress-up and dine at Cipriani, an Italian restaurant that evokes the Copacabana's sister Hotel Cipriani in Venice.
This hotel, like all the others on here is MORE than 5.56 miles from the international airport.

This hotel is really great. The food is great, the pool is amazing, and the service is impeccable. I can't recommend enough! The only complaint I have is that the beach it's on isn't so great so you should to the beach in LeBlon.

Though my room, in the old building, was a bit small, it was exquisitely furnished and the bathroom, with all its marble, was elegant
