The intense life of the ordinary people in Havana is one
of the incentives that the Hotel Presidente offers.
The proximity to the Habana Vieja allows you to take a
leisurely walk right through it, allowing you to savour
the history that runs along its streets and is reflected
in the havaneros, in their music and in the passage of
time that has a different pace from the rest of the world.
The Hotel Presidente ****
is located just 3 kms from the old historical part of
Havana, “la Havana Vieja”, a twenty minute
drive from the Jose Marti International Airport. It is
only 20 kms from the East Side beaches and 300 meters
from the renowned Amadeo Roldán Theatre.
Located in El Vedado, only 200 meters from the famous
Pier of Havana, “el Malecón”, on the
Avenue of the Presidents, and flanked by the Cuban Cancillería
(the Foreign Office) and the “Casa de las Americas”,
the Hotel Presidente rises gracefully with its 10 floors
of history and in its peculiar colours of vermilion and
beige.
The Hotel characterises itself for being housed in a spectacular
building from the 1920’s, being the first skyscraper
in the city of Havana.
The Hotel was completely reformed in 2000 following
a clear luxury style and keeping all the grandeur of
its recent history that included many famous personalities
of diplomacy and business companies, as well as the
art world. It is for this reason that an exquisite care
was taken to preserve every detail during its restoration
and decoration.
Throughout the interior of the Hotel, displayed are
more than 400 classified pieces of art, giving a very
unique taste to the guests from the moment of their
arrival. They can enjoy the “Lobby Museum”,
relax by the poolside, or go on interesting excursions
to Pinar del Río, Varadero, Santa María
del Mar or other famous sites nearby.
It is a hotel where the guests can appreciate the
best virtues of Havana, the great colonial capital of
Cuba.
