Sun-kissed mornings, the rhythmic sound of waves, and the unmistakable energy of Rio de Janeiro—my quick stay in this iconic Brazilian city was nothing short of unforgettable. Nestled in the heart of Copacabana, the Windsor Hotel offered the perfect blend of elegance and comfort, just steps away from the legendary beach. From the moment I arrived, I was immersed in the laid-back luxury that defines a summer vacation in Rio.
The location couldn’t have been more ideal. Waking up to panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and strolling the famous Copacabana promenade became my daily rituals. The beach, vibrant with sunbathers, beach volleyball games, and fresh coconut vendors, captured the spirit of Rio in full bloom. Whether lounging under an umbrella or taking a refreshing dip in the turquoise waters, every moment felt like a scene from a dream.
Waking up just steps from Copacabana Beach, I embraced a slower, sunlit rhythm—morning walks along the mosaic promenade, afternoons by the rooftop pool, and balmy evenings dressed in breezy silk dresses and gold jewelry that caught the light just right.
The rooftop pool has one of the best panoramic views in Rio, and the service made every moment feel effortlessly indulgent. If you’re planning a luxury summer stay, this spot is an easy yes.
The Windsor Hotel itself elevated my stay with its impeccable service, rooftop pool, and fine dining options.
Mirrored sunglasses, and delicate gold details that moved with the light. My Daniel Wellington timepiece and matching bangles were my daily staples — understated yet undeniably chic. Timeless design always stands out, especially under the golden hues of a Rio sunset.
There’s something about layering delicate gold over bronzed skin that just feels like vacation.
Whether I was sipping espresso in Ipanema or pausing to capture that perfect golden-hour glow on the beach, these pieces added just the right amount of quiet luxury to every look.

I spent a brief but unforgettable escape at the Windsor Hotel Copacabana, waking up to ocean views and falling asleep to the soft hum of city lights and waves. It was a reminder that summer is a feeling — and style should reflect that.
Between morning strolls on Copacabana Beach and quiet afternoons at the hotel’s rooftop pool, Rio gave me the perfect canvas to slow down, reset, and dress with intention. I skipped the heavy makeup and let accessories do the talking — the kind that catch the eye, start conversations, and travel effortlessly from beach to dinner.
