Where To Stay In Havana?

By Jose Maurette Garces


I get this question all the time and I always try to get as much information as possible from my clients in order to recommend the best hotel in Havana for them. As I am not going to be able to do this now I will be as fair as I can be and I will leave down to you which hotel to go for.

In this article I am going to focus on the hotels located in the Old Town area or Havana Vieja which is the way everybody in Havana knows it. One thing that makes the hotels in this part of Havana different from the rest is the fact that very few of them were originally built to be hotels. Each of them has a very unique architecture style and some of them date back 200 years ago.

One of my favourite hotels in Havana has to be Santa Isabel Hotel located in the very place where Havana was founded almost 500 years ago. It is very cozy and intimate as it house only 27 rooms of which 4 are Junior Suites with beautiful terraces over looking Plaza de Armas.

My next favorite hotel has to be Saratoga Palace. The Hotel Saratoga is a very elegant, eclectic styled building. It is located right in front of the Capitol building in one of the most popular promenades of Havana, Paseo del Prado.

This is my very favorite hotel ? 5 * NH Parque Central. Its excellence in service is second to none in the whole of Cuba. Beautiful lobby, roof top swimming pool with Jacuzzi overlooking the Old Town skyline, large rooms decorated with furniture from the Fifteenth Century this hotel really does it for me.

There are lots of very good hotels in the Old Town that I also like to recommend like Florida, Condes de Villa Nueva and Raquel Hotel and little but very cozy hostels like Valencia, Comendador and Beltran de Santa Cruz.

This is it for today I hope to have given you a comprehensive list of the best hotels to stay in Havana. If you require further detailed information such as pictures, description, facilities and prices you can visit www.quest2cuba.co.uk
