Copa Ushers In A New Era

Embracing a new era, Copacabana Palace’s iconic swimming pool area underwent a remarkable transformation in August. Meticulously redesigned by renowned carioca architect Ivan Rezende, who previously restored Copa’s historical Theatre in 2021, the glamorous hotspot now boasts a renewed allure, paying homage to #100doCopa.

Featuring delightful parasols, luxurious sun loungers, and bespoke fabrics inspired by the hotel’s golden age, the poolside area exudes a sense of timeless elegance. Drawing inspiration from the hotel’s illustrious archives, the reimagined poolside design evokes nostalgia while embracing the vivacious spirit of Rio de Janeiro.

Striped parasols, tropical-patterned linings exclusively crafted for the hotel, and fringe details reminiscent of pompoms bring a burst of vibrant colours. The carefully chosen shades of green and orange further enhance the ambiance, creating a perfect synergy between the historical vibrancy of the hotel and the carioca spirit of the city.
