Hotel Saratoga Havana - Hotel Overview

Hotel Saratoga Havana Hotel Description

IMPORTANT: To improve the quality service of Saratoga Hotel, the swimming pool will be renovated in June 2010. During this period clients will be informed upon arrival where they will receive the pool service. Receive our apologies for the inconveniences.

A relatively new addition to Old Havana’s hotel offer, the Saratoga is a stylishly luxurious establishment which combines charming early century elements with inventive and tasteful modern décor and facilities. Though the interiors were completely rebuilt and refashioned (3 floors were added to the property’s original 4), the eclectic, chiefly neo-classical façade has been restored and recalls the days, in the 1930s, when artists and other cultural luminaries gathered there and the spot was enlivened by the Anacaona all-girl orchestra.

The hotel’s immediate surroundings are, admittedly, somewhat noisy and not aesthetically pleasing. This minor shortcoming, however, is more than compensated for by the Saratoga’s privileged location: at the south end of Prado, the hotel is across the street from the Capitolio and Gran Teatro and a relatively short walk away from the seawall and Obispo, one of the main access points of the colonial heart of the Old Town.

Inside, guests are greeted by a daring and sophisticated interior design that sets a new tone for hotels in the area, evoking the kind of cosmopolitan spirit one might come across in New York or another big city. The mezzanine bar, under an atrium skylight, epitomizes this feeling with its mixed furnishings, tall palms and large mural showing a Cuban landscape. Just as inviting are the Anacaona Restaurant, its intimate adjoining bar and the rooftop restaurant, which offers good views of Prado and places of interest such as the Partagas cigar factory.

The prevailing mood of elegance and tasteful design carries to the hotel’s accommodations, which combine classical elements with modern facilities (such as Internet access).

Other attractive features include outdoor parking, wi-fi in communal areas, a highly modern gym, massage services, a well-equipped business centre and two meeting rooms.

One of Havana’s classiest (and most expensive) hotels, the Saratoga is probably not ideal for those seeking a discretely colonial or authentically Cuban setting. Visitors who can afford this establishment and seek intimacy and modern-day comforts will, however, be hard pressed to find a better option.
