The Travel Safe Program

Rates start from $150 USD per night, and includes accommodations, breakfast and airport transfer to the hotel. Our driver will await your arrival inside the airport and transport you safely to the hotel. Available May 15 to December 31, 2004.

(Edited to clarify the fact that I was being sarcastic. Caracas used to be a fun place... sadly, things have changed.)
I have stayed several times in the Intercontinental Hotel, while it is true that they send a driver to the airport, that hotel is in the middle of nowhere you can't go out really, for everything you have to take a driver and the rooms are in serious need of a renovation whilst I have to admit that the facilties of the hotel are really nice.
