Cayena-Caracas

Heavy doors off a La Castellana side street open onto something that feels less like a hotel check-in and more like a private villa landing, with landscaped gardens swallowing whatever Caracas is doing outside. Rooms run to four-poster beds, marble rain showers, and Acqua di Parma on the shelf. The rooftop pool looks straight at Cerro El Ávila. An Italian restaurant and three book-lined sitting rooms, one with a fireplace, handle the evenings.
