As one of Rio's biggest tourist attractions, it may appear a little ironic that there are very few hotels near Sugarloaf, Rio de Janeiro. The mountain itself is located in one of the city's quietest neighborhoods, Urca, which remains largely untroubled by developers. However, neighboring areas such as Botafogo and Flamengo are packed with good accommodation options, and it is a quick bus ride to Copacabana, where the streets are lined with hotels to suit all tastes and budgets.
Backpackers and travelers on a budget will find a lively hostel scene in Botafogo, which is within walking distance of Sugarloaf itself, and also has some good business hotel options and a lively drinking and dining scene.
