“Wonderful staff from first welcome...to leaving We had an issue with vaccinations to get us to Columbia that hadn't been identified by our travel agent....but Aline was truly wonderful....all the information we needed to get away after a further few days at the Excelsior....as well as finding us the best rates for our suite for our unexpected extended stay in Rio. Many Hotels seem great when things go well but really good hotels excel when things go wrong for their guests unexpectedly....Thanks to Aline the Excelsior proved to be a truly top class hotel with some of the best support, advice and guidance that we could have wanted....... If ever we come back to Rio we'll be booking into the Excelsior Copacabana without a doubt”
