History[edit]

Casino Atlantico Rio De Janeiro Copacabana

The Ouro Verde was known as one of the world's great small hotels during most of the 1950s and 1960s.^[6]In the early 1960s the hotel was considered 'posh' and was often visited by English-speakers.^[7]A visitor in 1966 described the Ouro Verde on Copacabana as an old hotel that was almost unknown to tourists but very popular with business people.It was small, clean, very well run and had an excellent restaurant.A retired Swiss hotel manager and his wife operated it as their pension.It was adjacent to large luxury hotels that were well-known by the tourists.^[8]

Brazil moved its government from Rio to Brazilia in 1960s, and the city decided to compensate by helping the tourist industry.Every year during the high tides Copacabana beach had to be closed, traffic was interrupted and several streets were flooded.Between 1960 and 1970 the shoreline was modernized, with a wider beach, broad sidewalks and hotel upgrades and new construction.^[9]The restaurant at the Hotel Ouro Verde was among the elegant and expensive dining places that provided good food and good service to the local elite, executives and foreign guests, other being O Bife de Ouro in the Copacabana Palace Hotel and Le Bec Fin.^[10]

In 1974 it was possible to dine on the patio outside the hotel.^[11]Room rates were considerably higher than the neighboring Lancaster Hotel.^[5]In 1979 the restaurant was famous for its seafood.^[12]In the 1980s the hotel was described as 'aging but classy'.^[13]The hotel was air conditioned.^[14]A tunnel ran from the hotel underneath the Avenida Atlantica to the beach, so guests could avoid risking their lives crossing the busy street.^[13]At that time there was no social safety net in Brazil, there was extreme poverty and tourists walking along the beachfront had to watch for pickpockets and were constantly accosted by beggars and prostitutes.The hotel had security staff permanently stationed on each floor.^[14]A 1982 article recommended the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel for a gourmet continental meal.^[15]

The famous soccer player Pelé rarely gave press interviews, apart from one for the Brazilian edition of Playboy in 1980, and a second in 1993 in his suite at the Ouro Verde Hotel.^[16]By 2007 the hotel was no longer as fashionable is in its heyday but provided good value and a quiet, traditional environment.^[6]The 2009 Rough Guide to Rio de Janeiro said the hotel exterior was not impressive, but the interior was 'discreetly elegant with spacious and well-kept rooms'.It recommended the more expensive rooms with the sea views.^[17]A 2011 travel guide said the hotel was considered one of the most convenient of the many hotels along Copacabana beach.It had spacious and rather old-fashioned rooms with carpets that were rather worn out.There was a panoramic view of the ocean, at least from the 'luxo' rooms.^[18]Since then the hotel, now the Atlantico Praia, has been renovated.^[19]
