![]() Meson de la Flota Bar | ![]() Meson de la Flota | ![]() Double Room Meson de la Flota |
![]() ![]() ![]() The Meson de la Flota is not strictly speaking a hotel but a bar with a few rooms above it which are more than occasionally used, one suspects, by clients of the hostelry who find the prospect of walking a straight line to their more distant accommodation a little too challenging to contemplate.
The establishment is designed around a maritime theme in celebration of Havana’s salty, swashbuckling history and is liberally decorated with signal flags, model ships, barrels, ships’ wheels, lanterns and other seagoing paraphernalia. There’s a good selection of wines and some excellent tapas at the bar, along with exuberant performances of Cubano-Flamenco music every day. © 2013 Nigel Hunt

There are only 5 rooms at the Meson de la Flota, and if you don’t secure one of the three grand ones just behind the building’s façade it probably isn’t worth braving the incessant racket of round-the-clock flamenco rising from the bar. If you love the music, though, you’ll love the Meson, and even if all that stamping, clapping, strumming, yelping and howling is anathema to you, you might consider the judicious use of earplugs in order to enjoy the high ceilings, comfortable beds with bedspreads charmingly decorated with schooners and seahorses, elegant French doors onto balconies overlooking Calle Mercaderes and shiny white bathrooms where the staff fold the towels into ship-shapes. All of the rooms are twin bedded.
