Hotel camouflaged as just another condo or office complex in pin-drop-quiet, high-class neighborhood towers behind a historically preserved 1950s wall, attracting clientele like the city orchestra, visiting soccer players and national TV personalities who enjoy the privileged central location. But it’s really the blind guests who get the VIP treatment: the hotel supports NGO Dorina Nowell, so the second floor has door signs and room amenities in Braille for those with visual deficiency. Juan Muzzi’s contemporary paintings add color, vibrancy throughout the hotel. Chic rooms go easy on the trimmings factor, pushing comfort and tact instead. Inside, rounded, light-colored wooden headboards and shelves give rooms a sense of space, carpet is super clean but wood floors and balcony are offered as options. Elevator music is piped throughout corridors, and the serenity continues to the pool area and adjacent garden, with native fruit trees open for the picking.
