Encanto Palacio Azul

Hotel Palacio Azul is without a doubt one of the finest hotels in Cienfuegos; Cuba’s Pearl of the South. The hotel is situated by the sea and it only takes a 10-minute walk to reach downtown Cienfuegos. That’s ideal, since you can just as easily go to the beach or stroll along the Cienfuegos Malecon.

The hotel designed by Alfredo Fontana, an important Italian architect, was constructed between 1920 and 1921 as a private mansion. Later the building would serve different purposes before it was turned into a hotel in 2004. Hotel Palacio Azul has only seven rooms, which are named after different flowers (Mari-lope, Lily and Butterfly on the first floor and Orchid, Dahlia, Verbena and Margarita, on the second floor). All rooms are air-conditioned and offer satellite television.

The intimate atmosphere, the cozy restaurant “Chelo”, the lobby bar and personalized services offered by Hotel Palacio Azul make for an unforgettable stay in one of Cuba’s most enchanting cities.
