Discover the stories behind this iconic, glamorous Brazilian beachfront hotel - its cinematic views, star-studded guests, legendary parties and chic carnival.

Thematic chapters and stunning photographs explore how the hotel has been part of Rio de Janeiro life for 100 years - from its opening in 1923, when few other buildings were around, to the golden age of Hollywood glamour, to the extraordinary free concert the Rolling Stones gave on Copacabana beach in 2006 (with more than 1.5 million visitors) and beyond.

Capturing the magic of one of the world's most fabulous destinations, this table-top book is a story about people and a culture of both old-fashioned elegance and contemporary flamboyance.
