This fancy high-rise joint is worth the price: as well as huge, stylish and comfortable rooms with fantastic views, there's the added bonus of being in a safe area and enjoying tight security. The rooftop infinity pool and bar are a great way to chill after a day exploring Caracas' concrete jungle. Travel agents can sometimes get generous discounts.
