Hotel Saratoga

Located at the intersection of Paseo del Marti and Dragones in Old Havana, Hotel Saratoga enjoys sublime views over the famous Capitol Building. Fully restored in 2005, this grand hotel boasts a glittering neoclassical façade and first-class facilities, including a rooftop pool, spa, gym, and two excellent restaurants.

The hotel has 96 elegantly appointed guestrooms and suites, featuring Cuban mahogany furniture, marble-tiled floors, and plush textiles. For an indulgent stay, book the spacious Havana Suites or duplex Prado suites, which both feature generous balconies overlooking the Capitol Building and park.

Anacaona Restaurant serves gourmet Cuban and international cuisine in an atmospheric Moorish-style environment, or head to the rooftop terrace for light lunches and evening grills. With superb views overlooking the city and bay, this is an excellent spot for cocktails.

If you can tear yourself away from the rooftop, there’s plenty to explore. Visit the Museum of Fine Arts and Partagas Cigar Factory, tour the city in a vintage car, and soak up the atmosphere in a jazz club.
