The hotel originally opened in 1976 as the
Hotel Meridien Copacabana, later
Le Méridien Copacabana. In 2007,
Starwood sold the building to
Iberostar Hotels & Resorts, which closed the hotel and started a renovation of the building in the same year, which was eventually abandoned in 2008. In 2009, the hotel was sold again to Windsor Hotels for around
R$170 million. After a refurbishment, it was reopened in January 2011 as the
Windsor Atlântica Hotel. The hotel was sold to Blackstone in March 2017. It converted to the
Hilton Rio de Janeiro Copacabana on May 2, 2017. ==References==
