Botelho Hotel is on Avenida Maracanã, in Arapongas, in northern Paraná. The city is known as one of Brazil's main furniture manufacturing hubs, home to factories supplying both the domestic market and exports.

Arapongas takes its name from the araponga bird, known for its loud, bell-like call, and is part of northern Paraná, a region historically tied to coffee growing before an economic shift consolidated the local furniture industry.
