Hotel Parque Central

Parque Central is situated on the main square in the heart of Old Havana. It’s not as intimate as a private home but the amenities make up for it. Enjoy exceptional views from the rooftop pool with a mojito in hand or stick with your fitness program at the gym followed by a massage at the spa. The Capitol Building, the Great Theater of Havana and the Fine Arts Museum are a stone’s throw away.

Parque Central’s 427 rooms are split between two buildings – one colonial style and one recently remodeled modern tower – connected via underground tunnel. The rooms are reasonably spacious and comfortable but relatively plain. Here, it’s about amenities and location, location, location, rather than intimate charm. There are three restaurants, a buffet and five bars, which offer Cuban and international cuisine, but we recommend venturing further afield to nearby eateries to experience a taste of the local life.
