This 117-room upscale hotel is hands-down the nicest option in the capital of Malé; it is also the tallest with 14 stories and views from big windows. Another major identifying feature is the chic rooftop infinity pool and lounge -- great for enjoying a slice of nightlife (i.e. mocktails and coffee), which Malé famously lacks. The Shangri-La group rebranded its Traders Hotels under the Jen label and is implementing changes to liven things up for a younger generation. The two restaurants focus on local products, while coffee and to-go meals are available in the lobby. Modern rooms -- though small -- have rain showerheads, bathrobes, comfy beds, and free Wi-Fi. There are also a spa, fitness center, free walking tours of the city, and free transfers to and from the airport on the next island over.
