Mascotte

Located on the main town square, the only hotel in the town of San Juan de Remedios, 27 miles east of Santa Clara. In 1899 this is where General Maximo Gomez met with an aide of American President McKinley to negotiate the retirement of the mambisas, the independence fighters who had fought in the Spanish-American War. This charming, colonial 14 room, two story mansion has been recently refurbished with many of the original features, including the occasional four poster bed being retained. The thick, square columns, high arches and abundant potted plants in the public areas will enchant you. It is ideal for those wanting to visit Cayo Santa Maria.
