The emblematic pool area of the Copacabana Palace underwent a decorative transformation and was reopened last Tuesday (1st) . The new decor features an exclusive print of tropical foliage and is in line with the European summer trend, bearing in mind the concept of instagrammable pools.
The architect’s project Ivan Rezende makes use of wooden umbrellas with striped fabric, lining in tropical prints and embroidered cushions in shades of green and orange, mixing nostalgic and contemporary touches.
The fabrics were even chosen from materials that are resistant to the tropical climate.

The change in the pool area is part of the 100th anniversary celebrations of the carioca hotel opened on August 13, 1923.
