Hotels in Havana

A true 5-star hotel well-situated in the heart of Central Havana and within walking distance of Old Havana, the Parque Central is surrounded by such architectural gems as the Gran Teatro de la Habana (where you can catch the world famous Ballet Nacional de Cuba) and the Museo de Bellas Artes (with the world's finest Cuban art collection). There are 277 spacious rooms and suites (request one with a Parque Central view) and all have luxury bathrooms, satellite colour TV, mini-bar, safety deposit box and direct dial telephone. There is also a massage and fitness centre, a swimming pool, and extensive meeting and conference facilities. This is the hotel for business travellers to Havana.

This grand, historic hotel in Havana is a feast for the eyes, from the exotically tiled lobby to the sweeping city views from the Roof Garden Restaurant (Havana's looking pretty good from the hotel bar as well). Its location (steps from the Paseo del Prado, Gran Teatro de La Habana and many museums) puts Havana's highlights at your beck and call. The rooms are comfortable and the lobby is always abuzz with live music, clinking cocktail glasses and laughter.

This hotel in Havana's leafy Vedado section of town is solid value. Within walking distance of the Malecón, several notable restaurants and the city's top jazz club, the location is terrific for night owls. Local couples line up around the block to gain entrance to Pico Blanco , the hotel's famous disco on the top floor. All the 86 rooms here have air conditioning and satellite TV - some even boast unbeatable sea views. This Havana hotel is favoured by a younger crowd and is a decent place to meet other travellers. There's a small rooftop pool.
