Historic, well-run hotel in a lively central location, with stylish rooms and a central courtyard retaining original brickwork and arches.

In a lively corner of Old Havana on the busy Parque Central, a late 19th-century building houses the well-run Hotel Telégrafo - Cuba's oldest hotel.  Its striking sky blue façade forms a distinctive part of the local architecture, while inside the décor is tasteful and contemporary.

The well-appointed rooms are stylishly furnished and comfortable. There's a beautiful central courtyard, which has retained much of its original brickwork and arches together with a rather impressive mural. Other amenities include a bar, atmospheric pavement cafe and restaurant serving a good breakfast (not common in Cuba!).

What our clients say

  • This hotel became our favourite. Sadly we stayed only for one night after a 24 hour delay in arrival but the hotel was very interesting and beautiful, the area was ideal and I will request this next time.

  • I don't know what the cost was for us to stay there but the tariff in the hotel was 250cucs per night. so not a cheap place to stay. would not compare favourably to similar price in Uk. Satisfactory but lacking in atmosphere and some minor issues in room eg curtains coming off hooks, shower not working well, lack of hot water.

Our expert's view

Hannah
Hannah Waterhouse - Travel Expert

Hannah had an early introduction to Latin America when her family moved to Ecuador and she returned to study in Buenos Aires for a year before backpacking across the continent.

This is a cheerful, friendly little hotel in easy walking distance of the main sights of Havana. Have a drink at the hotel’s pavement café and watch the vintage cars go by.
