Miramar Hotel by Windsor - Ρίο ντε Τζανέιρο

I loved our five night stay. Let me begin by complementing the young woman who checked us in. The hotel would know who it was to give her the highest kudos! Please pass on my complement. She considered what was important for me and my son and assigned us a very nice quiet room with preferable view. The welcome glass of champagne was a great omen as to what we would experience. The hotel seemed new, multiple elevators so there is no wait, accommodating bellboys, the room was perfect because it was clean, fresh new towels daily, and rather high quality soaps and toiletries. The security was great and I appreciate that non guests are not allowed in. The view from the 16 th floor and pool was the best. You can see the entire circling Copacabana and a tip of Ipanema. I chose location because Ipanema was a few dollar taxi drive or a 20 min walk from the Hotel. We also found that the metro was a ten minute walk. We used metro to travel to Macarana stadium and Olympic stadium. The Taxis were in front of hotel and took Taxi to the Botanical gardens. The hallmark of this hotel was the BREAKFAST. OMG !! the best hotel breakfast food I have experienced and I travel the world. LOX and fresh fruit was delicious. You can ask for latte or cappuccino to the table. Service was superb. We also ate locally at great prices. Check out the Apetito and the restaurant right across from it - five min walk. All in all I will not consider any other hotel my my future RiO experience.

In town for Paralympics. Hotel has a great location to the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. Slightly confusing directions when we requested information on tourist attractions. would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Amazing

This hotel was great all around. Great customer service, great location, great price, etc

Staff was exceptional, starting at the front desk. David seemed to always be there, smiling and ready to assist with anything and everything. Kudos also to Roberta, Paula and the entire cafe staff. Definitely a first class operation. Arriving in the morning, David allowed us to occupy our room early. Likewise with an evening flight out, he granted a very late departure so that we'd have time to clean-up after coming back from a recommended tour. Couldn't ask for more. The room was very nice, but not spectacular in terms of accommodations. There was an abundance of toiletries covering just about anything you might have forgotten. View of the beach down to Sugar Loaf from the 12th floor window was expansive. I'd never experienced anything like the breakfast buffet (with the exception of perhaps an all-inclusive). An amazing selection of fruits, juices, meats, cheeses, pastries, a made-to-order omelette grill, protein smoothies, sparkling water and champagne for mimosas. The wait staff was very attentive without being overbearing. Eating there made for a delightful start to each day. Pool and patio area on the 16th floor was clean, very nice. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate for us to fully enjoy being there. This facility and staff deserve the high praise given in all the reviews. Would absolutely recommend staying here.
