The mint-green Saratoga is an architectural work of art that stands imposingly at the intersection of Paseo de Martí and Dragones, with fantastic views toward the Capitolio. Sharp, if officious, service is a feature here, as are extra-comfortable beds, power showers, a truly decadent rooftop swimming pool and an exquisite hotel bar.
Unsurprisingly, all this luxury comes at a price: the Saratoga is eye-wateringly expensive, especially if you plump for the presidential suite. Then again, it's perhaps the best hotel in Cuba.
