Botafogo Prime started from a simple idea: a place in Botafogo where guests could arrive and actually live in the neighbourhood, not just sleep in it.

That's why the kitchen is a real one — stovetop, oven and kitchenware, so you can make your own breakfast and come back from the corner market with something for dinner. That's why there's a work desk, for anyone who needs to clear the inbox before heading out. And that's why there's a balcony and a terrace, because in Rio you don't watch the late afternoon through a window.

We're not a hotel. We're a house in three formats: the whole two-bedroom apartment, for families and groups; and two individual rooms, for travellers who pack light and would rather spend their money on the city than on the room.

The person who meets you on arrival is someone from the house. If you need anything during your stay, you talk to us directly.
