It was inaugurated on August 14, 1923. It was featured in the 1933 filmFlying Down to Rio. After BrasÃlia became the Brazilian capital in 1960, the hotel underwent a period of slow decline and was surpassed by the more modern hotels which were built in the 1970s. There were plans to demolish the hotel in 1985, but they were scrapped afterwards. The hotel was refurbished sometime after 1989 when the Orient Express group bought it.
