Overview
Windsor Califórnia Hotel is a modern option situated on the seafront of Copacabana Beach, one of Río de Janeiro's most famous beaches. Known for its high-standard service, comfort, sophistication, and high-end structure, this hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of trendy bars, restaurants, and nightclubs. It's also close to the subway and a short drive to major tourist attractions such as Copacabana Fort (6 minutes), Pão de Açúcar (13 minutes), and Cristo Redentor (29 minutes), making it an ideal base for exploring the city's highlights.
The rooms have wood floors, neutral walls, and white bedding. Many suites offer beach views, but you may have to upgrade if you want a furnished balcony.

The bathrooms have granite or tiled interiors with walk-in showers or shower/tub combinations. All rooms come with bathrobes and slippers for added comfort during your stay.
Start your day with a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool overlooking the beach or a workout in the fitness room. Next, head to the buffet breakfast to fuel your morning exploration of Río de Janeiro. When you return to the hotel, loan a towel and head to a beautiful Copacabana beach for a few hours in the afternoon sun. Then, unwind in the sauna before enjoying a delicious meal at the hotel restaurant, which offers a varied menu.
