Palacio O’Farrill

Hotel Palacio O’Farrill, located on a corner in Old Havana, near the picturesque Bay of Havana and Cathedral Square, is a perfect example of neoclassical architecture, in vogue at the dawn of the 19th century. This mansion, awarded a Class 1 Heritage Degree, has recently been extensively restored and refurbished by the City Historian’s Office. (Reopened 2002) It is a Palace converted into a Hotel: an authentic corner of Old Havana that prides itself on the level of personal service offered to all guests. The hotel has retained the name “Palacio O’Farrill” as a tribute to its earlier owners. Don Ricardo O’Farrill and O’Daly, whose family came from County Longford in Ireland, was a wealthy merchant who made his fortune from the notoriously lucrative slave trade. Traces of the building’s 18th, 19th and 20th century architecture, plus the decoration and ambience of each floor in accordance with these centuries, bring an unique fusion of the past and the present that makes it a place where one longs to return. Our visitors, therefore, are privileged to live three centuries simultaneously. Clients will enjoy the inner courtyard with an old well and the magnificent skylight and roof-top terrace which gives a great perspective of the city. Each of the 38 air-conditioned rooms has private bath, satellite TV, international self-dial telephone, safety deposit box and minibar.
