Cayena-Caracas
Elegant colonial boutique — think neoclassical European interiors mixed with Venezuelan soul. Neutral palette, mood lighting, Assouline books, and a garden you'd never expect to find in Caracas.
Book early — 45 rooms means it fills up fast, especially with business travel
Why It Matters
One of the only true luxury boutique hotels in Venezuela and a proud member of The Leading Hotels of the World. It's where visiting executives, diplomats, and the rare tourist actually stay in Caracas. The rooftop pool claims to be the city's only semi-Olympic pool, and the Sereno restaurant under Chef Mónica Sahmkow is arguably the most talked-about fine dining address in the country right now.
A family-owned, 45-room luxury hotel set inside a reimagined Venezuelan colonial Casona in the upscale La Castellana neighborhood. Designed by Luis Bustamante and opened in March 2014, Cayena Caracas sits behind heavy doors, set back from the street — you'd barely know it's there. Inside, it's all lush gardens, neoclassical living rooms stocked with Assouline books, and a rooftop semi-Olympic pool with views of El Ávila mountain. The rooms are calm and quiet, furnished with four-poster beds, marble bathrooms, and Acqua di Parma bath products.

Named for the neighborhood, this suite references the hotel's La Castellana address and colonial Casona DNA. Eligible for in-suite spa service. Spacious bathroom, elevated furnishings, and the full complement of LHW amenities.
Cayena Suite
The flagship suite, named for the hotel's emblematic cayena flower. The most expansive accommodation on property. Designed with the same visionary eye as the rest of the hotel — think Luis Bustamante-informed neoclassical elegance with full in-suite spa access.
