Flamengo, Gloria, Catete and Centro are all areas of historical interest, dotted with landmark churches and buildings. The main inconvenience about Flamengo, Gloria, and Centro is that you will need to depend on taxis or the subway to go to the beach. Even though there are places known as Flamengo and Botafogo Beaches, they are located on Guanabara Bay and are not suitable for swimming.

There are many hotels in these areas where you will find rooms from economy and budget alternatives to traditional staples like Hotel Gloria.

The Hotel Gloria at one time was a grand 1920s beachfront hotel. Even though it has lost its beach, the Gloria still retains some of its old splendor in its classically decorated rooms and red-carpeted hallways. The deluxe rooms have stunning views over the bay. The Hotel Gloria has several pools and a fitness center. The beaches are pretty here, but the water is too polluted for swimming. The rooms at Hotel Gloria range in price from $140 to $200 per night.
