Independence Hotel by Dara
Enjoying a fantastic location by the sea and surrounded by the jungle, The Independence Hotel is a historic landmark dating back to the 1960s when it was designed by renowned French architects Leroy and Mondet with the original interior design done by the King himself. Being the country's tallest building at that time, it accommodated famous guests such as Catherine Deneuve or Jacqueline Kennedy. Completely refurbished in 2007, it now offers luxurious, contemporary style rooms with breathtaking views over the ocean and features such as a private white sandy beach. A truly unique experience.
