The best seat to experience Copacabana

PORTOBAY RIO DE JANEIRO: THE BEST SEAT TO EXPERIENCE COPACABANA


Copacabana beach is one of the most iconic destinations in the world, where natural beauty meets the vibrant energy of Rio de Janeiro. A symbol of unforgettable experiences, it hosts major events like the Olympic Games, international shows, and one of the largest fireworks displays in the world.

And if this setting is a spectacle, the PortoBay Rio de Janeiro hotel is the perfect place to watch it from the front row. Located on Avenida Atlântica, facing the beach, it offers an unbeatable view. With 117 rooms, all equipped with balconies and panoramic windows, plus a rooftop with a pool and the Bossa Lounge bar, the hotel is a true luxury VIP box — ideal for watching the city’s greatest events up close, without sacrificing comfort, sophistication, and attention to detail.

Top 3 artists to perform on this stage

Many shows have marked history, but three artists stand out in a special way.

Rod Stewart, with his incredible performance, broke all records by drawing an estimated audience of 3.5 to 4.2 million people, according to the Guinness Book. With hits like “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?”, the artist became responsible for the largest crowd ever recorded on this beach.
Another memorable moment was Lady Gaga’s concert, which, with a production worthy of the artist, gathered 2.1 million people on the world’s most famous sands, marking another historic moment.
Madonna also left her mark, performing for over 1.5 million people in Copacabana. The iconic beach was transformed into a true dance floor during the final stretch of her tour. The singer, during her performance, even called Copacabana "the most beautiful place in the world."

While many were competing for a spot on Copacabana’s sands, PortoBay Rio de Janeiro guests already had theirs guaranteed — with a privileged view and no worry about losing it. The convenience and comfort of a hotel with personalized service, without missing a second of the magic happening outside… is having the best spot on the beach without needing to be on the beach.
