Venue
Copacabana Beach - Rio Othon Palace Hotel
It's almost impossible for visitors to Rio to resist the charm of Rio de Janeiro's eighty kilometers of beaches. Framed by the wavy black and white mosaics of Avenue Atlântica, Copacabana, one of the most beautiful and famous beaches in the world, is the main reason for this fascination. In fact, there are two separate beaches here: Leme (one kilometer) and Copacabana, (just over three kilometers). A center of activity both night and day, the beach is lined with kiosks, a bicycle path and racks, hotels, bars and open-air restaurants. When it is time to relax, just take a walk along the beach or go shopping at the most sophisticated and prestigious boutiques of Brazil, or go to theatres, shows and night-clubs. The Military Forts at each end of the beach are open to visitors, offering panoramic views.
EngOpt 2008 will take place at Rio Othon Palace Hotel, a 5-star property with privileged ocean front location on Copacabana beach with 586 spacious rooms in 30 floors. The ample and modern convention center has full facilities, including an auditorium for 700 participants and 08 meeting rooms for parallel sessions.
Rio Othon Palace offers an excellent service by attentive staff making your stay comfortable and enjoyable, with total infrastructure, technology, efficiency and comfort and a marvelous swimming pool on the roof.
The Othon Chain has given excellent room rates for the participants of EngOpt 2008, choosing to stay at Rio Othon Palace or at Savoy Othon Travel, at a walking distance. Savoy Othon Travel rooms have cooking facilities, and are spacious and pleasant. Sharing with a friend is an option to consider for both hotels.
