$400-a-night rooms at Caracas's Cayena Hotel have gone from mostly empty to a dealmaking hub within five months as wealthy investors stream into Venezuela.
The rush is being driven by expectations of an economic rebound in a post-Nicolás Maduro era, with investors positioning early for new business opportunities.
The shift marks a sharp reversal for the 47-room hotel, whose occupancy rate was just 21% last year after most of its 13 years in operation were marked by weak demand.
Set in a busy Caracas commercial district, the Cayena's turnaround is emerging as a visible sign of renewed investor interest in Venezuela's economy.
