The actual full official (not exactly snappy, but charming) name for this brand new (Nov. 2010) hotel is "Palacio del Marqués de San Felipe y Santiago de Bejucal Hotel".

History, and modern facilities are combined in this beautiful building which originally belonged to Don Sebastián de Peñalver at the end of the 18th century and which passed onto the successors of the 4th Marques de San Felipe and Santiago at beginning of the 19th century.

The interior minimalist decor of the hotel contrasts with the baroque design of the hotel’s façade and makes the building unique on the St. Francis of Assisi Square. This new hotel, a gem in the heart of the heart of Old Havana, is lucky to be just a few meters away from the St. Francis of Assisi Convent where you can listen to some of the best choirs and chamber music concerts in the city. From the hotel’s terrace, at the top of its six floors, you can enjoy the atmosphere of one of the main squares in the heart of the city with the Carrara Marble carved fountain Fuente de los Leones sculpted by the Italian artist Giuseppe Gaggini.

The 27 spacious, modern, comfortable rooms all have satellite TV, safety deposit box, hairdryer, mini bar, desk & ensuite bathrooms. You can also arrange wifi internet in your room through reception.

For extra luxury but small cost, why not upgrade to one of the 3 beautifully furnished suites where you can unwind in a relaxing jacuzzi bath. Other benefits include his & hers wash basins & excellent views of San Francisco de Asis square.
