Find Hotels with Early Check-in in Copacabana

"If I could give Hotel Miramar 20 stars, I would. The location was perfect, across the Copacabana beach. A road separates most hotels and buildings, so it is as close as possible to the beach. A lifeguard station is right across the hotel with showers and faucets for feet washing. The hotel has a gentleman on the beach who sets your umbrella and a beach chair and keeps an eye on your belongings. On our way from the beach, the gentleman helped us with feet washing, and it was a strange feeling (before we visited Rio, we were in Buenos Aires, where, at the cathedral, we saw a video of the current pope washing feet). The gentleman was not involved as much as the pope; he was directing the water stream on our feet; nevertheless, it was a nice touch. The room was big, with an ocean view. The bed and mattress were extremely comfortable. I have a fancy mattress at home, and I usually find most hotel mattresses of lesser quality. Miramar mattress was better than my home mattress. The same I would say about pillows, bedding and bathrobes. Everything in the room was of outstanding quality and very comfortable. We did not pay for breakfast as we usually skip it, but I peeked once to get a coffee, and the breakfast looked phenomenal. All the staff were extremely courteous, polite, and helpful. I left a tip for the maid on a counter, but she did not take it. All in all, you will be happy staying at Miramar. PS The hotel has a gym, sauna, and an outdoor pool on the roof."
