Let down by staff and policies

The rooms and pool areas are fantastic. What lets the hotel down is the speed of the staff. We waited long periods for drinks by the pool and in the bar at night. We also asked for our bill 3 times before we went to walk out after waiting half an hour. We came here for a special occasion after staying at the Pestana Rio Atlantica, the remainder of our holiday. The rooms and facilities at the Fairmont are far superior, but the service and prices are far better at Pestana. Both have excellent locations and views on Copacabana Beach. Another small detail is non smoking policies by the pool at Pestana are far better.

Great Location, but need an update.

I recently stayed at the Fairmont Rio for a week. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but the hotel is showing its age. The entire property, including the rooms, feels extremely tired, as if it hasn’t been renovated or properly maintained in at least 20 years. Many details were worn or damaged: the basin had chipped edges, some facility signs were broken, and general wear-and-tear was noticeable throughout. Worse, there seemed to be an issue in every room. My original room had an air conditioner that rattled nonstop, making it impossible to sleep properly for two nights. The staff were friendly and promptly moved me to another room, but in the new room, the shower drain didn’t work, leaving a pool of water after every use that only cleared when housekeeping came. That said, the location is unbeatable. The hotel is surrounded by fantastic restaurants and plenty of breakfast spots. It’s also just a short stroll to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, making it ideal for exploring. The hotel breakfast was disappointing - very basic for the price. You can find much better quality and variety outside at a fraction of the cost. On the plus side, the gym was well-equipped, with dumbbells up to 26kg, four 20kg plates, and a Smith machine, a great perk for fitness enthusiasts.

The Fairmont is a beautiful property with lovely views from the restaurant and an amazing spa. The Amazon experience treatment in the spa was the best three hours I’ve had in many years. My only issue is that the lost and found has been unresponsive and I left something in the room that I would like to get back.

We stayed at the Fairmont for 4 nights. The location between Copacabana and Ipenema beach is fantastic. Our room had a view onto the sugarloaf and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching people on the beach and in the water. We only had one dinner in the hotel restaurant. It was amazing. The breakfast buffet had a good selection. Rooms were spacious and clean and the beds comfortable. The shower pressure was excellent. But most importantly, the staff were always helpful and nice. I highly recommend this hotel.

My stay at the Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana was absolutely amazing! The location is unbeatable—right in front of the beach with stunning ocean views. The service was outstanding; the staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel itself is beautiful, modern, and very clean.
