The Luxor Continental rises 20 stories above the residential district of Leme, an extension of Copacabana Beach located one block from this famous stretch of sand.

The hotel stands within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and movie theaters, whereas downtown Rio de Janeiro is a short drive away.

The Luxor Continental features a fully equipped, 24-hour business center, five conference rooms, and computer, fax and copy facilities. Internet access is available in public spaces.

A recreational area is located on the terrace that offers panoramic views of Copacabana Beach and the vast ocean beyond. This space includes a palm fringed outdoor pool, sauna, fitness center with personal training assistance, and the Sky Terrace Grill Bar.

Restaurant Poty serves a meat, pasta, and tropical salad buffet replete with international and local Brazilian dishes. The Lobby Bar presents intimate atmosphere ideal for quiet conversation.

The hotel also offers sunshades and towels to beach goers as they depart for a day under the Brazilian sun.

The Luxor Continental offers 275 guestrooms with minibars, in room safes and cable television with international channels. Suites provide ocean views, living rooms with sofas and armchairs, two minibars and private showers.

Copacabana Beach is famous for its international soccer and volleyball championship competitions. Equally as alluring, exquisite fireworks festivals start at midnight, and the annual New Year celebrations are not to be missed.

Wearing white on the beach is more than a fashion statement. Most people here believe that wearing white attracts good fortune.
