The Best Hotels In Havana

Out of all the hotels in Havana the most charming are the one located in Havana’s Old Town. Its location is privileged – only few steps away from the most amusing corners of Havana.

Among those fascinating hotels, it is worth mentioning the four-stars Hotel Florida, one of Havana’s most historic places for been one of the first hotels ever built in San Cristobal de la Habana (full name of the Cuban capital) in the Nineteenth Century.

Hotel Florida has 25 rooms. Four of them are suites, while the other 21 are standard rooms. The place exudes comfort through and through. The Bodeguita del Medio bar is not far away and visitors can find transport easily in the form of horse-drawn carriages which are parked outside the hotel.

This hotel opened to the public in 1899 and since that very moment, it has drawn the attention of travellers who enjoy stopping by and admiring its grand architecture style. Its roomy court yard is very cosy and invites you to seat and relax while sipping one of Havana’s most famous cocktails ‘El Mojito’.

According to some sources, it is believed that this hotel was built in 1836 and it was the residence of remarkable businessmen of that time. Among them, it can be mentioned the count of San Ignacio as well as the wealthy and paramount Spanish count Jose Eugenio Mor.

Only few decades after this palace was built it was abandoned. The palace lost all its charm until it was bought by an American entrepreneur who transformed it into one of the grandest hotels in Havana in the Nineteenth Century. Perhaps a coincidence but not to far from Florida Hotel is today?s most famous Cuban bar called Floridita which have franchises all over the world.
