Leme (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈlẽmi], rudder) is an upper-middle-class neighborhood in the South Zone of the City of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, next to Copacabana, Urca and Botafogo. The neighborhood takes its name from a nearby rock formation whose shape resembles the rudder of a ship.
In 1975 was built one of the tallest buildings in the Leme beach; the hotel
Windsor Atlantica Hotel
.
Every year in the days leading up to New Year's on December 31 the traditional processions honoring
Yemaja begin here. The famous party of Réveillon
or New Year's Eve in Copacabana extends completely into Leme as well.
