Best Accommodation in Havana

By J. M. Maurette

In this article I am going to highlight few of the best hotels in Havana. There are numerous options available but I believe these 5 properties below are the best Havana Hotels.

Santa Isabel Hotel

Santa Isabel offers cosy rooms that are decorated in luxurious colonial style. It is here where John Paul II stayed in 1998 when he visited Havana. This Colonial Palace is located only few steps from Havana's Cathedral and it is just next to where Havana was founded almost 400 years ego.

Saratoga Hotel

This hotel was constructed in the early 1930's and was immediately well known for its excellent cuisine. Its Open-air pedestrian arcades are a pleasure to walk through. This 5 star hotel enjoys an excellent location in the very heart of the Old Town. Its roof top swimming pool is one of the best spots to contemplate Havana's reach architecture.

NH Parque Central

This hotel is located in the very heart of Old Havana. It is surrounded by numerous historic buildings such as: Theater Garcia Lorca, The Capitol and The Fine Arts Museum. This hotel is only 25 minutes far from the international airport in Havana. The 5 star NH Parque Central hotel is the best you can get in Havana in terms of service, food and accommodation facilities.

Havana - Florida Hotel

This property was built in the most elegant colonial style in the 1830's. It was owned by one of the richest families of Havana in the 19th Century. From its inner court yard, you will be able to appreciate its grandness. The hotel houses a restaurant, 2 bars, a souvenir Shop, a boutique shop, a conference hall, an Internet cafe, a laundry, medical services as well as a taxi stand.

The classic Raquel hotel stands out for its beautiful art-nouveau architecture style and is just few minutes walk from Plaza Vieja in Havana?s Old Town. This 4 star hotel houses 37 rooms, gym, one a la carte restaurant, buffet restaurant and a beautiful terrace from where you can enjoy fantastic views of Havana.
