We spent a long vacation in Brazil this summer. We have been to several cities and villages of course. We went several times to Rio. For our last night in Rio/Brazil we wanted it to be memorable and booked in Le Meridien. That was really desappointing. It is true that the hotel is on Copacabana beach but there are tons... more

Having read many reviews about Brazil, Rio, and the Meridien, was slightly trepidacious about the trip, but the whole thing went much better than expected. Arrived at the hotel at 9am, and most friendly check-in clerk, offered to book me in straight away so that I could change and rush off to watch the 'England' match at 'Lord Jim's Pub',... more

After reading a number of 'scary' reviews, I thought I would add my thoughts following a week stay at Le Meridien in Rio. If like me, when you have read all the other reviews, you think to yourself - should I get down to the travel agents and change my booking. We, my wife and I, stayed on the 31st... more

We stayed here end of April for 6 nights. The hotel is in a great location, & we could see the beach & sea from our room although we had not booked a sea view. All the staff were fantastic & really made our stay - many of them knew us by name & were very genuine in trying to... more

Like others, I read the reviews beforehand and wasn't quite sure what to expect. I'm glad to report, the hotel was decent. Great location. Great restaurants nearby. My bestfriend and I (both young, single females) felt relatively safe. Our only complaint about our hotel stay is on our first outing away from the hotel, we returned to find that our... more

Based on the reviews I booked this hotel for March 9th to the 12th. I received a lot more than I expected. Location- It is located towards the eastern end of Copacabana Beach. That makes going over to Ipanema Beach (same shoreline) more than distance than you would want to walk. A bike or taxi to Ipanema would be a... more

This hotel should have been wonderful; it has a great location with great views of the beach. The staff at check in was super and so was the restaurant staff as well as the food. The rooms have ZERO sound proofing. The room next to ours had their phone ringing alerting them they had a message but they were not... more

Stayed here for 4 days in january. stayed on the 34th floor with amazing views of Copacabana beach and Christ The Redeemer. Breakfast was lovely , we have travelled extensively around the world and could not fault this hotel, position is ideal. can not comment on lower floor rooms but we suggest any staying there goes for high floor rooms.... more

I stayed at Le Meridian for five days in late January, early February. The rooms are of a fair size, very clean and with a nice view of the beach. The restaurant buffet (included in your room rate) was huge and delicious. We enjoyed the prawn salad at dinner. The staff were friendly and helpful. For the business traveller, the... more
