Any writer who is looking for a Havana hotel will inevitably be drawn to the city's most literary choice of accommodation - Ambos Mundos. The hotel of choice for Ernest Hemingway (who wrote extensively in room 511), this art deco hotel is located in the heart of Havana and is the ideal place for writers to find inspiration.
The Film Star...

There are plenty of five star Havana hotels that have played host to the stars, but one stands out from the rest - the Nacional. Dominating Havana's skyline as it looms over the Malecon, the Nacional has played host to Marlon Brando, Buster Keaton and Errol Flynn, and is also the base of operations of Havana's International Film Festival.
The Socialite...
In the 1930's and 50's, American and European socialites flocked to the Cuban capital, and if you'd like to enjoy a taste of the old glory, book a stay at the Saratoga hotel. It was the centre of the social scene back in the day, and has been transformed in recent years into one of the finest hotels in Havana, with the opulent Cigar Lounge the best place to relive the 1950's vibe.

If you have come to the Caribbean on business, the Melia Habana will be the perfect Havana hotel for you. Close to the airport, within striking distance of the city centre, and offering five star luxury in a handsome modern building, the Melia Habana is as professional and practical a hotel as you could ask for.
