The biggest seller on our site is, without doubt, holidays to Havana. It’s no wonder - not only is it the island’s capital, it is also alive with culture, history, nightlife and salsa music! You could spend many months in Havana, and not find every intriguing nook, and exciting cranny.

But whether you wanted to stay in the capital for a weekend or a month, there’s one thing you cannot do without: accommodation. Lodgings range across all budgets, but there are some wonderful and atmospheric luxury hotels in Havana if you know where to look. Here are the five best hotels in Havana, Cuba:

The Nacional

One of the most famous hotels in Havana, the Nacional has graced the city’s skyline since the 1930s. Located within spacious grounds on the seafront, the Havana hotel’s rooms offer stunning views across the sea, and over the cityscape. The ambiance isn’t quite matched by stays in the hotel itself though, explaining why it’s one star short of 5 - the rooms are functional, but not luxurious, the service is sometimes patchy and the food is often disappointingly average. If you can afford it, the Executive Floor is better served - otherwise, the gardens, pool and history more than make up for the slightly disappointing feel of a stay at this Havana hotel.
