The Espirito Santo Plaza building that houses the Conrad Hotel is unquestionably the sexiest of all buildings in the Downtown area. The 36-storey structure is built of concave glass and has an 11-floor atrium on the 25th floor that contains the Conrad’s lobby, restaurant and lounge.
The Conrad is the luxury brand of the Hilton chain and has 203 rooms and 103 serviced residences. The rooms are decorated with contrasting elements of glass, wood, leather and metal, matching the building’s style, and include remote-control lighting, a pillow menu and a whole host of gadgets.
The hotel has its own spa, but most importantly has the nOir Bar beside the Sky Lobby that offers the best views of Biscayne Bay. If the nOir Bar gets quiet, use one of the telescopes in the lobby to see whether the Bahia Bar beside the Four Seasons’ pool area is full.
