Our Favorites
Overlooking the iconic Copacabana Beach, the Copacabana Palace is more than just a hotel for us — it’s the heart of our celebration. This is where our wedding ceremony will take place, and where we, along with our families, will be staying throughout the festivities.
The Palace holds a very special place in our story, as it was the destination of our very first trip together.
We couldn’t imagine a more meaningful setting to begin this next chapter of our lives.
As a special courtesy, our guests receive a 10% discount on stays of two or more nights.
