Suites Las Palmas

Description:

• Las Palmas is the best and hippest nonbusiness hotel for the money in the city. Only 2 years old, this modern, seven-story hotel is within walking distance to Zona Rosa's best restaurants and shops, offers big, modern suites with kitchens for the price of other hotels' basic rooms, and boasts unusual designs and amenities throughout. The pool, Jacuzzi, and sleek Asian-fusion restaurant are all set on the rooftop and feature amazing views, as does the exercise room, which includes a wall of glass overlooking the city. The suites are large with king- or queen-size beds, often with kitchens and couches. Suite amenities and prices vary greatly, so pin down what you're getting when making your reservation; request upper floor rooms, which have balconies and views. Though Las Palmas' name doesn't carry the cachet of the international chains in the city, it's every bit as luxurious and a better deal.
