Hotel Florida (Havana, Cuba)

Housed in an exquisitely restored colonial property, Hotel Florida Hotel offers guests the chance to be transported back to another era, but taking along all the modern conveniences they are accustomed to. The rooms are furnished with new colonial-era replicas, and feature en-suite bathrooms, minibars, satellite TV’s, in-room safes and telephones. The suites are a bit larger and also have a private balcony. The lovely historic courtyard is undoubtedly the prime feature of the hotel, and is the perfect place to relax with a drink or snack. Reception can assist with tours, transfers, basic business services and laundry. La Floridina and Plaza de Armas restaurants serve both Cuban and International fare, reputedly including some of Hemingway’s favourites. Set in the heart of Old Havana, the main attraction is simply walking the surrounding streets and taking in the atmosphere. Revolution Square, with its iconic mural of Che Guevara, is about 3.5 miles away.
