Your Hotel Choices:
Both the hotels that we have selected in Havana are lovely in completely different ways. During an event, like Hot Nights in Havana” the atmosphere is probably better at the Hotel Nacional as there are more public areas and atmospheric bars for people to congregate and enjoy themselves. However the Parque Central has a better standard room, service and food, and is in the heart of Old Havana which means you can walk everywhere and explore easily. The choice is yours?
NACIONAL HOTEL 
plus (5 Cuban Stars)
A national monument situated in the Vedado district of Havana overlooking the Malecon and Havana Bay. A splendid example of a colonial hotel that has been frequented by many famous and infamous people, through out the last 75 years. The 10 acres of hotel gardens offer an excellent vista of the Gulf of Mexico while sipping a cool cocktail and watching a Caribbean sunset. It has standard rooms, junior suites and master suites plus an executive floor. Various restaurants, snack bars, bars, and live entertainment. El Parisien Cabaret is attached to the hotel and is an excellent show. There are 2 swimming pools, one shady and one sunny, a tennis court, a gym, spa with massage. Beauty and hairdressing salon, and various shops. The atmosphere here is that of elegant faded grandeur and plenty of space, this the best reason for staying in this city centre hotel with a difference.

Here is the hotel that offers the best services right in the heart of the historical core of Old Havana, very close to the Gran Teatro “Garcia Lorca” (Home of the national Ballet), the Capitolio building, the Fine Arts Museum and the Revolution Museum, among other important institutions. It combines the elegance of the Spanish colonial style with the modern services and facilities of the Dutch management company, NH. It offers 277 spacious air-conditioned rooms, perfectly equipped and richly furnished. The facilities include a very beautiful terrace on the rooftop provided with a swimming pool and Jacuzzi with wonderful views of Old Havana.
