This hotel has an enviable setting where Central Havana meets the Old Town. Upon entering the grand central lobby you can soak up the refined elegance that this Havana favourite exudes. Spend your mornings exploring the main sights, which are mostly accessible by foot, before cooling off in the pool which has fabulous views over the city. The facilities are a wonderful blend of tradition and contemporary, with a Cuban Cigar Smokers’ Lounge, two swimming pools and a Jacuzzi. There is also a great choice of bars and restaurants including the main Mediterráneo Restaurant, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The two speciality restaurants are perfect if you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a treat. Sample meat and seafood dishes at El Paseo Steak House and international fare and Cuban dishes at Mirabana Restaurant. There’s a real contrast in room styles here with Colonial Rooms, Junior Suites and Modern Suites. The rooms in the main building have a real old world charm while those in the adjoining building, which is reached by an underground walkway, are much more contemporary. You can choose either a Colonial Room or a more spacious Colonial Junior Suite, or for views of Parque Central, opt for a Parkview Room. For even more space, the Modern Suites are the perfect choice.
This is an iconic hotel that invokes images of 1950s Cuba and has a reputation that is renowned around the world. Follow in the footsteps of the rich and famous as you stroll through the corridors of this beautiful historic building which showcases a blend of architectural styles from Art Deco to Baroque. There are a variety of restaurants in which to sample cuisines from around the world. Breakfast and dinner are served daily at the buffet restaurant La Veranda while Comedor de Aguiar is the place to go for an elegant setting and an à la carte menu. The wonderful garden terrace bar is the perfect spot for sampling Cuba’s famous mojito cocktail. The rooms are classically furnished, reflecting the traditional design of the hotel. The Standard Rooms are a comfortable base to return to after a day out exploring Cuba. In the Seaview Rooms you’ll be able to see the Caribbean Sea. However, if you’re looking for something a little more special then an upgrade to an Executive Floor Room is highly recommended. As well as round-the-clock concierge service, you can enjoy an exclusive snack bar and setting for breakfast.
In the heart of UNESCO-protected Old Havana, the Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski is a Havana’s first ultra-luxury hotel set in the historic 20th-Century Manzana de Gomez building. Originally the first shopping arcade to be built in Cuba, the building is not only abundant with character, it also occupies a fantastic setting close to the impressive Capitol Building and the Great Theatre of Havana. Facilities include a state-of-the-art spa and fitness centre, and a stunning rooftop infinity pool with incredible views overlooking the city. This truly is the perfect place for an indulgent retreat following a tour of Cuba. A variety of restaurants ensure a range of cuisines can be enjoyed at the hotel. Breakfast is served at Confluencias, the elegant dining room and terrace restaurant that has a delicious international-inspired menu. For a dinner with a view, you have the choice between two restaurants. San Cristobal is the beautiful top-floor restaurant specialising in delicious Caribbean seafood. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows ensure a stunning panoramic city backdrop during dinner. The open-air El Surtidor rooftop terrace, pool and bar area combines spectacular sweeping city views with refreshing cocktails. If you fancy an after-dinner beverage, drinking spots include the chic Bar Constante and the Evocación Tobacco Lounge, a classic lounge where you can relax and enjoy an original Cuban cigar and delicious local rum. The rooms here are all stylishly furnished, with large French windows, high vaulted ceilings and a contemporary white-and-grey design accented with vibrant Caribbean colours. The Patio Rooms overlooking the courtyard are a serene base from which to escape the hustle and bustle of the busy Old Town, while the Deluxe Rooms offer great views overlooking the old city below. The Gran Deluxe Rooms are a little more special, offering extra space and a larger luxury bathroom with a rain shower and separate bath. For even more room, opt for one of the beautifully designed Junior Suites or Suites.
This ultra-modern hotel is for travellers who want to combine the sultry Spanish Colonial charms of Havana with contemporary comforts – a rare find in the city. Three new floors crown the grand façade of an old hotel, cutting an eye-catching design close to the seafront. A lofty terrace houses the stunning infinity pool (grab one of the part-submerged sun loungers for a cooling dip), and the inviting spa is filled with saunas and steam rooms – a cool and calming haven from the city’s buzz. Interiors are atomic-age bright: acres of white and soft neon lights, with little nods to 1950s Havana, from vintage car signs to a classic cigar room. Rooms are cool and calming; think pale wood floors and creamy colour palettes accented with pops of mustard yellow or mint blue, some with balconies. The Deluxe Prado Rooms have views over the tree-lined Paseo del Prado while the Deluxe Atlantic Rooms have views of the sea. There’s no better location to reflect IBEROSTAR Grand Packard’s mix of old and new: the waterfront hotel sits at the northern end of Paseo del Prado, a leafy boulevard straddling the border between Central Habana and Old Havana. The location is perfect for exploring: the hotel is close to the Velasco Palace and the National Capitol Building, and is just around the corner from the dome-topped Museo de la Revolución. Wander the knot of candy-coloured streets to stumble across once grandiose palaces and colonial squares, eyeing up the vintage cars and discovering the city’s emerging art scene and café culture – then take it all in from above back at the hotel. Set back from the Malecón, the Packard has wide-reaching views across the bay, the city, the Moro fortress, the Florida Straits.
