(former Macuto Sheraton), With exceptional landscape and environmental location, on a small peninsula facing the Caribbean Sea, the hotel managed by the Sheraton chain since 1963 was part of the ambitious tourism development plan undertaken in the 50s by the National Corporation for Hotels and Tourism (Conahotu). The seven-story building, whose appearance has the same typology and scales of international hotel buildings of its time, is an articulation of three categories of volumes. The first, a rectan-gular parallelepiped for apartments and rooms, with two circulation cores to the south, which seems to float above the ground; the second, smaller and lower volumes intended for services, social or recreational uses, with singular shapes that give them a unique character; and the third, corridors covered with concrete slabs and round metal columns, connecting the elements of the complex and framing views of the tropical landscape. The façades, designed as a grid, allow deep balconies, protect the façade and provide the image of a beach hotel, which maintains its hierarchy and meaning in the collective memory, and waits to be restored as a symbol and reference of tourist architecture on the coast.
