An eye-level, slightly upward-angled, nighttime exterior shot captures the fully illuminated Copacabana Palace building in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The grand, multi-story white structure dominates the frame against a dark, featureless sky. Its facade is adorned with classical architectural elements, including numerous rectangular and arched windows, some featuring small iron balconies. Warm artificial spotlights illuminate the building's intricate details, cornices, and pilasters from below each floor. The words "COPACABANA PALACE" are displayed in large, golden, serif capital letters across an upper section of the facade. Many windows show interior lighting, indicating occupancy. One window on a middle floor is partially open. A flagpole with a dark flag, consistent with the Brazilian national flag, is visible at the very top of the building. Dark foliage from trees is present at the bottom edge of the frame. No individuals are visible.
