I spent 4 nights at the Melia Brasilia, in spite of the somewhat negative reviews I read here. I found the hotel to be very well-run, with excellent services and good catering. They are making some very interesting efforts to be a "world-minded" -- ask for a room on the 5th floor, the "green" floor; everything is recycled or recyclable, and even the sheets on the beds are renewable and recyclable. The buffet breakfast, included with the room, is huge, and there is an outside balcony for eating if the weather is not too cool or too warm. The restaurant also does a very nice dinner. Many of the rooms are non-smoking; my only problem at all with this property was the lobby bar -- it's a cigar-bar, so there is no place for a non-smoker to sit and have a drink without breathing cigar smoke or smelling like a cigar.
