El Marqués

Top choice in Camagüey


Simply lovely, this six-room colonial is a treasure trove of character. Rooms shoot off a central courtyard with wrought-iron furniture, each door guarded by a Martha Jiménez Pérez sculpture on a pedestal. Bedrooms feature satellite TV, safe and air-conditioning. There's period furniture, and the place is quiet throughout. Also features a small bar with 24-hour service and hot tub.

It's part of the exclusive E hotel brand managed by Cubanacán.
