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. You can take a dip after working out at the health club or playing a few games on the tennis courts. The bar, El Punto, is a gathering place of choice for the city's elite and influential. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Pros: Old-world charm, consistant service, great location. Cons: Needs renovation, perched over a busy street.
