Setting and arrival
The hotel is about 45 minutes from the international airport, traffic permitting. The modern lobby has polished white floors, steel accents and an attached bar.
The rooms
My Twin Superior Room had mountain views and the same bright, contemporary style as the lobby, with a full-size desk, small sitting area, large TV, reading lamps built into the headboard, free Wi-Fi, microwave, minibar, safe and air conditioning. Breakfast is included. King Junior Suites add a living room with a bar.
Spa, pool and nightlife
The hotel offers exclusive spa experiences and a rooftop pool, and it is a fashionable nightlife spot.
The verdict
Incredible views, a safe and secure setting and a lively atmosphere make the Pestana one of the best choices in Caracas.
