Hotels in Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro

Botafogo sits between Copacabana and the city centre on the west shore of Guanabara Bay — a neighbourhood that has emerged as Rio's most interesting restaurant and bar scene in the last decade. The Botafogo Praia Shopping waterfront has a remarkable bay view; the streets of Rua Voluntários da Pátria are dense with restaurants and bars where Rio's food-conscious locals eat. Sugarloaf is directly above; the cable car station is in Urca next door. Less famous than the beach neighbourhoods and all the better for it: central, well-connected by metro, and with a food-and-drink quality that Ipanema is still catching up to.

28 hotels within walking distance of Botafogo, in the heart of Rio de Janeiro, including 16 properties rated 4 stars or higher. The closest is HMG Rio Suítes, about 329m from the centre of the neighbourhood. The nearest major venue is Maracanã Stadium (6.5 km), as the crow flies.
