This was a postponed honeymoon and we were very excited to go to Copacabana, Brazil! The hotel was acceptable. The rooms were not a perfect 10, but they were clean, and the view from our room 2006 (what a coincidence since we were excited for New Year's 2006) was a 10. The decor was strange....wild colours on the bedspread, a fake brick wall backsplash, outdated furniture, but the pictures on the wall were impressive; cable TV with HBO and HBO plus; and a balcony door for sliding open, but about 6 inches of balcony space, standing room only.... It seems that they were doing some updating as during our stay they changed the upholstery on our chairs and the headboard of the bed. But really though, you just don't go to Rio to stay in the hotel; if you're paying too much attention to the hotel, you probably shouldn't go to Rio in the first place. There's so much to see and the room serves its purpose-but the focus was certainly not the hotel, not for us anyway. The showers, considering we were on the 20th floor were powerful, and we had no problems with theft, in fact we had a safe in the room which they charged $1.50/day USD. There was also a hairdryer in the bathroom. Plenty to outlets to plug in your battery chargers, etc....The lobby was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations and there was always plenty of staff and security-you want to feel safe anywhere you go, so this was important for us. We did not eat any meals at the hotel, but I did get to see what they served for their breakfast buffet and it was very plentiful. We decided to go to Sucos Bars every morning which are interesting little outdoor stands that you can get fresh tropical fruit juices and sandwiches and breakfast for two was never more than $8. We fell in love with Ipanema and will more than likely stay there next time-just for change of scenery. Rio Othon Palace is located in the heart of Prostitution-ville, this must be noted, so don't feel like something suspicious is going on if you decide to eat at one of the outdoor restaurants next to the hotel, there is something going on...although it may be illegal, it does occur and the club "Help" just 200 ft from the hotel is densely congested with this, so if you have children this may not be too cool. But again, this was just another interesting aspect of Brazil and the reality that it is a very poor country. You will see the poverty almost immediately (on your trip to the hotel from the taxi cab). By the way we took yellow cabs and they were fine, the private ones charge 63 Reals from the airport to the hotel and the yellow one charged only 35 to the airport from the hotel. Tip: get up early and enjoy long walks on the beach with the locals. This is a very "fit" society, everyone walks....ALOT. Try the Acai at a Suco Bar, it's awesome. Have fun and definitely blend in with the other Carioca's by purchasing a pair of their beach shoes, this way you don't look like too much of a tourist. Oh yes, the hotel, again it was very nice. We enjoyed it and we give it a 7.
