The Copacabana Palace Hotel was opened in 1923 as the most luxurious in Rio de Janeiro. Even today it still shows a well preserved, glamorous and classic architecture. This landmark was designed by the French architect Joseph Gire, who was inspired by two hotels, the Negresco in Nice and the Carlton in Cannes. Since its opening, the hotel has had only two owners, the Guinle family of Rio de Janeiro and since 1989, Orient-Express Hotels, Trains & Cruises. The hotel can be seen in the midia because of the several famous movies, such as “Flying down Rio” from 1933, where the actors Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers danced for the first time, and for its famous guests such as Theodore Roosevelt, Marlene Dietrich, Ava Gardner, Lady Di, Brigitte Bardot, Mick Jagger, Tom Cruise and many others. The hotel is considered the most sumptuous edifice from the gender in South America, and one of the most beautiful hotels in the world.
