Look at this delight, here we have cachitos, croissants, and nuts Is really good... This is a jam and cheese cachito Is an invention of the Europeans that came to Venezuela, but it's totally Venezuelan The dough is sweet but the filling with jam and cheese is savory And it has a spectacular flavor and everything is made here Normally this is a buffet where you pick from a table, chopped fruits Another table with arepas, another with proteins, and another of pastries But since we are the only ones in the hotel they gave us a tasting of what they offer We finish having breakfast, we are going to the room and then have a tour Through the historical side of the hotel, we managed to show us the kitchen, laundry And to the places that the guest don't see You are going to see it with us, don't forget to subscribe to this channel If you haven't done it yet, please hit the notification bell Hello, how are you? Great thanks, have a great day Can I make you some questions? How much time you have been working here? 1 year and how is it? Excellent Really good and you how much time you have been working at the hotel? 2 months and how is it? I like it very much And you live close? Not so far but is worthy Thanks to you, have a great day Is a delight to have a talk with the hotel staff Because this hotel has a controversial history And many people may relate this with other stuff We are no one to comment about this but we like to talk with the workers That makes an effort, to take the subway, bus, the cable car To give the best service here We have Domingo here that is the marketing, sales, and sales executive At the Humbold Hotel, we are going to ask him some questions and he is going To give us a tour through the hotel historical places but later But from when is open to the public? We started before the pandemic, we started doing dinners and private events And after December 2nd we started having guest, opening just 5 rooms In total, we have 70 rooms in all the tower But available we have 22, but the rest we have to finish some details, like hot water The curtains, just some details and with the food? You told me that there are 2 restaurants plus the place where you have breakfast In the regular plan, breakfast is included? Just the breakfast And non-alcoholic mini bar inside the room... We have a pool with some saunas We have a base pack and the sauna is available for guests We are handling 18 touristic routes through the Avila Walking and with a car, we are fixing the details to offer this later We are in the old station where the cable car came The system worked like this way, you got off at the station You went through some stairs, you took another cable car and you came here This is used to make, events, weddings, fashion events also That you can do here, all the floor is totally original, this is 65 years old And the wood brake the old cable cars This hotel was inaugurated in 1956 And then it stopped working when? As a hotel, it worked 4 years, after that The Sheraton manage it for 10 years and that changes all the hotel And then it had a lot of interventions but as a hotel until 1970 And from 1970 until this date, totally closed The social areas were open for events and also Avila Magica But the room's area didn't work I read that they last 200 days to build it And making in the 50's a building like this in 6 months You can imagine that and for this projects is not only the construction Are the planning, maintenance, and operativity That's why it only last 4 years, and they have to give it to a recognized international chain To be able to keep working and it only lasts 10 years until the rooms were not available I feel that staying here is like going back to the past and it's fascinating So let's keep listening to the hotel history The guest came here and if you were going to the disco you went through this door If you were a guest you came through here All was very planned, let's go to this area, there is a mix with the floor The floor guides you, Tomas Sanabria wanted the floor guided you to not Use signals on the walls The floor here is black and if we see it from the bottom to the top We see that the floor is white The black floors indicate that you are going outside of the hotel And the white floor indicate that you are going inside the hotel We are going to see that later... We have the main entrance Of the disco where you left the jackets and coats Trough here... In 1956 this was the hairdressing salon And the barbershop, this is being transformed on the tobacco bar Come closer Thank you To have a taste of coffee, cocoa, tobacco, and rum Here and through the north terrace, we are going to enable some stairs To use this side and make the taste on the outside also How many people work at the hotel? Around 100 to 142 There are 60 thousand square meters And we have a lot of staff to keep it working We had to fix this mural because it was hidden with plaster Is an original artwork, it represents the Avila On both sides This side represents the Avila to La Guaira And if we see the other side it represents Caracas Here the floor is totally original From a stone that was brought from Brazil that doesn't exist in the world anymore And we keep it here That was the table we used yesterday, where we set the lights to show you The delights that we taste but now you can see it by daylight I heard that this was the first rotating dance floor of Latin America It's correct, it is kept original, and it elevates to this height to extend that stage Like 60 cms of elevation, sort of This was going to be the casino but Perez Jimenez was not friendly with casinos But Sanabria told him that the only way to keep running the hotel was with a casino But they finish the casino at that time? No What do you think? I feel that when you know the history of something It has more value, something that is present with this place Here we have the floor colors, where the black indicate that you are going outside And they match with the garden Come in, here is the kitchen magic Leonardo, nice to meet you... How much time you have been working in the kitchen? And how it is? Excellent, good atmosphere and a lot of work also Show us the magic, we follow you On this side of the kitchen, we make the restaurant and room service food Here is the buffet and staff kitchen They are in charge of making the staff food and through this side Here we make the event food and over there we have the bakery area The guys are having lunch, we have a blender Here we have the ovens Here are the fridge and the ingredients warehouse for desserts, bread We checked this area that not so many people know from the hotels Here are the pipes, much of them are original yet, here we have the laundry The deposit, crazy travelers we are bringing you to an unexplored area And we are going to tell you things that nobody has told you Here we have the machines, ironing machines, lots of washing machines Industrial size, this the flag that we use outside The Venezuelan flag, one of the biggest of the country, every week we have to get it off Because it gets damaged by the wind and sews it to keep it good condition Miss Zulay how much time you have been working here? 2 years Yes, 2 years And do you like it? A lot and before working here, I have worked with Melia Caracas That was my school hotel, also with Aladdin hotel, then Dubai Suites, and here With a new experience in the Humbold Hotel 35 years working with hotels That noise you listen is the hotel lung, we are going to see all the pipes we have here You are going to talk with the person that has managed the project, around 9 years We have the pool and water engines We also have the tank where we receive water from the mountain And we have the fire pump and behind is the water pump that supplies the hotel How has been the process in 9 years to the moment where the hotel was opened Recently for the public For us that we lived that time and now is totally different You have to believe, there are things in this country that you can achieve When you do things with your heart When you see buildings like this, you say what a beauty But when you go inside and you work with the staff Responsible that all this spectacle, like this, that you see here Is when you give value to things and you take care of the work of each person That still believe in this country We are going to see the sauna, I was asking Domingo if there was full day plan For the ones that wouldn't like to stay here and they told me That really soon, look at this sauna You can come in, there you have the towels, the panel For the temperature and you have some hot stones to pour water To get the steam And you can sweat more... And as I said before have this full-day plan Really soon they going to have it available, to enjoy the pool The gym but I think that in a full day you are not going to workout You can use it, the sauna, and the facility restaurants When we do a guided tour, we visit this floor, here we have the museum room Here we have original furniture from 1956 There are furniture with bronze legs And several things set on the room that was from that era These are the only original drawers that are left in the hotel This was made of bronze and look how the bathroom was The original bathroom I have a doubt, you told me that rooms are suites with double beds And if a child comes? Until 5 years it's allowed to be inside the room And they can sleep with their parents, it depends on the parent's decision Sleeping with the parents and if it's older you need another room, yes Because Sanabria was not friendly with children And the rooms are small Look at this view I think that part of accepting the invitation of visiting this hotel was the curiosity Of seeing how they had restored everything, I remember that 8 years ago I came with my family and did a tour when you can see the lobby And what is was left from the disco, everything was destroyed And the restoration last 9 years and do you believe that when it was built It only took 200 days and not only the hotel but the cable car And everything you can see restored I wanted to say what Domingo comment that the hotel worked for 4 years Then it was run by Sheraton and then 60 years destroyed, vandalism Despite there were attempts to recover it, it failed, even now it last 9 years Today we are going to enjoy lunch, they made a menu just for us 4 times and 7 pleasures, that's how they call them We started with the bread time and this is our first dish that is called salmon lacas I don't know if you can see but I don't know what is below Salmon loin pickled for 72 hours With Araya sea salt, cocuy, and cane molasses This wonderful, the pros of a tasting menu Is that if you don't like a dish, you will have more options to fix it But the cons is that you like a dish a lot you want some more of that This is 10 of 10, salmon lacas, I really like it Cheers for that... Here we have the 2ndo dish that is a fresh cream With vegetables, chicken, and hen broth And in the middle truffle oil, do you know what is that? Yes Excellent, enjoy it, thank you For those who don't know that is truffle oil, a truffle is a very hard mushroom to find A kilogram of truffle can cost $3000 USD So the truffle oil is a reduction of regular oil with this mushroom You don't need 3kgs of truffle to get that oil, a fact from the truffle It grows inside the soil and there are trained dogs especially to look for this The cream has a soft flavor and the truffle oil highlights I don't know if he mentioned a specific vegetable but it's like a celery cream The truffle oil makes it fancier Here we have a green mix salad It has 3 kinds of lettuce, marinated with a sour sauce In this case is passion fruit, vinegar and below it has buffalo fried cheese buccinis Enjoy it, what a delight Really nice Here we have a supreme bird, that is chicken with rum, filled with nuts The sauce that it has is made with 18 years Carupano rum Look at this, besides that it has bacon Enjoy it... I love that they give us the formal name and then regular one because We have gone to restaurants where they call a dish a supreme bird that flies slowly Through the paradise, brother is chicken and here they call it on both ways Emmanuel is not a fancy boy.. Cracks This is made by God Here we have oriental tenderloin, macerate for 42 or 72 hours To have the texture and the taste you are going to try at this moment That's why this tenderloin is so soft It gets open without cut it just pushing it Because it's macerate and it gets really soft Is so soft that taste like chicken Here we have the dessert, which has a chocolate brownie, nuts and Homemade ice cream made with sarrapia Enjoy it Is when you finger cake mix when it's done, what it's left I feel that is how the ice cream tastes, I love it How much it was? $133 USD, like $66 USD per person Of 7 dish, it was really good Recently we went to another restaurant where we had a 7 course tasting And we consider that was the most expensive restaurant in Venezuela That we have visited and if you haven't watched it yet, click here It was more expensive than this one, we won't tell you the price of that one Here we have a clean palate with a glazed cream and a touch of rum Thank you Thank god this is the last one, everything was really nice Cheers We enjoy these life opportunities but we are really simple We choose a place with green, plants, and a hammock and we are ready And I want you to remember that the happiest and unforgettable moments Don't need a big budget, it is good for those who can afford this But if you can't, life is full of small moments Very simple, without much production but full of happiness Find the happiness in what you can have because it is always there Happiness depends on us and we can make a simple moment The happiest of our lives Fight for your dreams if you can't afford a trip like this If you wanted to do it, save money, at least 5 dollars in a jar Honestly, before we couldn't think paying for a stay in a hotel like this But we have worked so much, hours at midnight, extra hours From Monday to Sunday, all weeks working And we had this kind of opportunities For those who are asking, a cost of a night is $300 USD per couple It includes only breakfast if you want lunch or dinner at the Humboldt restaurant Or in the other one, they have totally different prices, yesterday we talk about it So if you want to make breakfast, lunch, dinner, and your stay You can spend $500 USD per couple It is expensive...
