Copacabana Palace of sadly declining Orient Express Hotels could be great and is indeed if you are a celebrity looking straight couple. The hotel despite looking like run by queens is very gay unfriendly and I had the lifetime worst welcome when as a regular customer of the above named company dared to check in there late at night after a long journey.
Perhaps you are reading too much into their motivations -- might the service just be poor in general?
No, they can be very nice with their glamour guests an the place is lovely.
