Opened in 2003, this mammoth gleaming-white hotel has balconies in each room that overlook Barra Beach. The decor is futuristic, with white walls, brushed nickel and mahogany accents, skillful lighting, and clean lines. Be prepared to rent a car or spend a good deal of money on taxis when staying in this neighborhood, as there's no metro station and unreliable bus service.
