Hotel Palacio del Marqués de San Felipe y Santiago de Bejucal

Habana Vieja


Cuban baroque meets modern minimalism in this restored palace in the blustery Plaza de San Francisco de Asís, the erstwhile home of countless counts, dons and marquises. Thanks to its recent refurbishment, there's a classier and more contemporary feel to proceedings here, reflected in both decor and quality of service.

Expect cool 21st-century bathrooms, fluffy robes, deluxe bedcovers and a handsome little restaurant. The suites are enormous and come equipped with large, round whirlpool tubs.
