Gran Hotel Bristol La Habana, managed by Kempinski
Just steps away from El Capitolio (the National Capitol Building) and within easy walking distance of Havana’s hotspots and hidden gems, you’ll find Gran Hotel Bristol La Habana, managed by Kempinski.
The building itself has over 100 years of history as a hotel. A symbol of the city’s old bohemian life, it was a magnet for Havana’s thriving social and artistic scene in the 30s and 50s. It was where people came to dance, drink and enjoy music. The original hotel also offered some very modern comforts for the time, such as private bathrooms and telephones in each room.
Imbued with the spirit of its past, the Gran Hotel Bristol of today is cool and contemporary with a laid-back ambience and a subtle Cuban touch.
While the building’s original façade has been retained, the interior has been given a modern twist, combined with local influences inspired by 1930’s Art Deco.
Each of the 162 rooms and suites, including the 136 sq m presidential suite, are stylishly decorated with bright blue and orange accents, clean lines and contemporary furnishings.
Venture to the ninth floor for a spectacular surprise – a stunning rooftop infinity pool and breathtaking panoramic views over most of the city’s historical landmarks including El Capitolio, the Spanish fortress, the port, and Old Havana.
As you’d expect from a hotel in the heart of the city, the selection of dining experiences features vibrant cuisine and lively entertainment. As well as welcoming guests from afar, the hotel is also a place for locals to socialise, in a relaxed and easy-going atmosphere.
On the ground floor, with direct street access, La Muralla Club serves globally inspired cuisine, paired with an extensive variety of beers and crafted cocktails. At night you can enjoy live Cuban music performed by talented local artists.
The hotel offers affordable, relaxed luxury in a prime location and perfectly complements existing Kempinski properties in Cuba. Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski is just two blocks away, and the idyllic Cayo Guillermo Resort Kempinski is perfect for anyone dreaming of a Cuban road trip.
