Arena Leme Hotel  

On Rio's sun-soaked Avenida Atlântica in Leme, this beach hotel sits steps from Praia do Leme and a short hop from Copacabana. Sugarloaf Mountain is about 2.3 miles away and the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden roughly 4.9 miles out. Nearby highlights include Vermelha Beach, Copacabana Fort and the Sugarloaf cable car.
