Description: This is a modern, well-equipped hotel located on Copacabana Beach. Amenities include a swimming pool and exercise room for guests. The rates run from around $100 for a standard room to over $250 for a luxury suite. I had dinner at the Excelsior, where I enjoyed a cold buffet featuring salmon pastries, various salads, and delicious pork and sundried tomato medallions. The hot buffet consisted of beef medallions, codfish, whipped potatoes, croquettes and chicken. The appetizers were particularly interesting: cod fritters, a pastry of chickpea and beef tasting of anise, and germanic fare like salami, cheese, and quail eggs.
The hotel was modern and well-equipped.
