I have stayed at the Miramar several times on business. The first time I was given the top floor corner room with a huge balcony overlooking Copacabana beach. What more could I ask for? The rooms are basic but clean and modern looking. The marble type floor just added to the comfortable feeling. The bathrooms were clean and simple. The... more

This hotel has a great location right on Copacabana beach. I was very pleased with our selection to stay at the Miramar. Eveything about the hotel was pleasant with the exception of our broken toilet. It did not flush and had to be fixed twice. The breakfast buffet was the best I have had in a month long Brazilian stay.... more

Just returned from a brief (5 day )stay in Rio and have to say that the Windsor Miramar palace was perfectly acceptable for MY stay. That being said, it may not be acceptable to everyone. I arrived in Rio after 16 hours of travel from South Africa (where I had been vacationing for 2 weeks) and with no reservation. Since... more

While staff was polite, and dining room had an excellent view of Copacabana, the bathroom was horrible. We did reserve a "standard room", but did not expect this from a 4 star hotel. According to management, the hotel was full and we could not be assigned a better room. more

"Atmospheric Hotel situated on quieter stretch of Copacabana Beach," says the hotel description. Not sure what they mean by "atmosphere" or "quieter" but I suspect their definitions don't quite match mine, which is not at all a surprise. This isn't a knock against the Miramar. It's a perfect serviceable hotel, one of the dozens (hundreds?) on hotel row. The public... more

I travel a lot, and I almost always book my hotel based on the reviews at tripadvisor. That almost always leave me happy and satisfied with the hotel I booked. Here is Miramar Palace Hotel, which I walked in and booked in person. Well, it's my desperate act during Rio's hot hot New year period, most hotels which has ocean... more

Everyone has to understand there are different standards for accommodations in Brazil. I have stayed in this hotel 3 times while visiting Rio. The hotel services are very nice, the rooms are average. The hotel will be undergoing renovation starting in 2009. It is a great location just across the street from the beach and "flea market." The hotel breakfast... more

(+) The location of the hotel is great as just in front of the sea and in Copacabana. I paid for a room in with view on the ocean and nothing to say, it was amazing, especially for sunset and sunrise. (-) Though I had booked a suite, they gave me a standard intentionally. I had to go back to... more

I stayed at the Windsor Miramar Palace Hotel for the weekend of the 18th April 2008. Checked into the hotel and was given the "regular" room number 1301. SHOCKER! It was an ocean view room! Yes! Fantastic! The view was indeed incredible, the room however wasn't so much of a four star as they advertised. Wooden floors, comfortable bed, relatively... more
