Rio Friday Part 2 - Copacabana Palace

A night view of the magnificent Copacabana Palace on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro.
Copa in the daylight.




Plaque noting the Copa's architect.

The famous Copacabana pool, where the fabulous hang out.





This is the second building of the hotel, back behind the pool on the left side of the building. It has amazing balconies overlooking the pool.






There are a few small shops in the lobby of the Copa. There are also display windows for other shops, one of which you see here. I fell in love with this image of Pao de Acucar, Urca, and Botofogo (the two hills, or "morros", and the area in front of the bay) in the display window.
