The Rio option — Shabbat at the Fairmont Copacabana

The Base — Fairmont Rio Copacabana

Our Rio guests stay at the Fairmont Rio Copacabana on the southern end of Copacabana beach. Beachfront, full-service luxury, and a kitchen that works with our Rio kosher chef for Shabbat catering.

Chabad Beit Lubavitch (Rua Maracanaú 11, Rabbi Ilan Stiefelmann) sits at the northern end of Copacabana — about a 30-minute walk along the beachfront.
