J.W. Marriott Caracas

$$$$ | Av. Venezuela at Calle Mohedano, Caracas, 1060, Venezuela Fodor's Choice

The newest and most up-to-date hotel in Caracas is also the most popular, and with good reason: in a city where it can feel like many hotels haven't been renovated or refurbished since the end of the last century, the Marriott, in El Rosal, is shiny and well kept. Rooms are as you'd expect them to be for this hotel chain: business-friendly, clean, and comfortable. Though it doesn't hold a candle to nearby THE Hotel in terms of personality, it certainly is a dependable spot. Request one of the top level rooms away from street noise.

Pros

  • Great business facilities and know-how
  • Clean rooms
  • Central location

Cons

  • Lacking verve, very large at 17 stories, on a busy steet

Tamanaco InterContinental

$$$$ | Avenida Principal de las Mercedes, Caracas, 1060, Venezuela

A time-tested beacon of old-school Caracas, this venerable pyramid-shape hotel sits on a bluff above the Las Mercedes neighborhood in the southeastern section of the city. It's the oldest of the city's luxury hotels and still well maintained after all these years. Its most stunning facility, a free-form pool, loops around any which way but rectangularly.

For children, there is a playground, a small pool and tennis lessons upon request. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.
