Plaza

Located on lively Parque Central, this charming colonial style four story hotel is a step back in time to the Spanish rule. The early 20th century Spanish architecture has overtones of pre-Civil War Madrid. The property, restored and reopened in 1991, is located in a perfect location to explore the history of the city. Well appointed air-conditioned rooms have bathroom with shower and tub, hair dryer, telephone, satellite TV, radio, safety deposit box, and lots of closet space. The sky high ceilings help dissipate the heat. This hotel has 188 rooms, restaurants, bars, disco with on-the-spot salsa teacher, money exchange, souvenir shop, tour desk, post office, and nightclub. There is no pool, but the rooftop terrace has terrific views of the old city and the Bay of Havana. Lobby bar, which stays open 24 hours, comes complete with fountain, mosaic floor, parrots and detailed ceilings. Hotel has its own free car park.
