Hotel Chacao Cumberland, Caracas

Advantages: Avila Mountain, Gastronomy, Latin Flavor
Disadvantages: Crime, Unsafe.

...views of the city by night...a little bit expensive but pretty romantic. Avoid taking a room in cheap hotels. Take a room in 4 or 5 stars hotels in East Zone of the city and you’ll be satisfied.
