Gran Hotel
An old five story building in the heart of Camaguey that really tries to live up to its name. Built in 1939, using an old 18th century residence, the 72 room hotel has long been considered the best in the city. There are great views from the roof top restaurant, and the cafe on street level has good coffee and plates of chips. The halcyon days of the Gran Hotel have passed but it is a special place to stay.
Our Opinion: This remains the best and most charismatic hotel in town.

There are 33 air-conditioned rooms with telephone and private bath with hot and cold water. Hotel facilities include a restaurant, 24 hour snack bar and an outdoor terrace to watch the world go by.A top tip in Bayamo is to eat out at the Hotel Telegrafo, which is a training school for the hotel industry.

El Castillo
Built in 1770 in a fort above the town, El Castillo was originally built to keep the British out and served subsequently as a prison. It has colonial style rooms with lofty ceilings, terracotta-tiled floors and furniture carved from cedar by local craftsmen. The swimming pool has a spectacular view of the bay and El Yunque (the anvil shaped mountain). The surrounding area still has a notable Indian influence.
Our Opinion: The best located and most historic hotel in Baracoa.

Santa Isabel Hotel
Without doubt one of the best hotels in old Havana and in a wonderful location on Plaza de Armas. Originally the Palacio de Santovenia, the Santa Isabel has only been a hotel since the middle of the 19th century and was renovated in 1996 to five star standards. There are only 27 rooms, the best at the front with views over the Plaza. The interior and courtyard are attractively decorated and there is a roof top terrace bar that overlooks river and square.
Our Opinion: A wonderful place to stay that is steeped in character and right in the heart of Havana’s Old Colonial sector.
