Property Details

Occupying a restored colonial mansion, La Reserva Hotel features elegant rooms that provide you with a cocoon of comfort and combine modern luxury with Cuban cultural traditions. The upscale El Vedado neighborhood is just a block away from main streets that lead to La Rampa and the famed seaside Malecon.

The five-room property is managed by a Cuban family, giving you a chance to interact and learn more about this vibrant island and its people. Indeed, La Reserve Hotel is not unlike a stay in someone’s home. Delicate accessories, antiques, and patterned textiles and wallpaper add a layers of interest to the fresh rooms. Mid-century furniture mixes with interesting light fixtures, and Azulejo-look tiles lead you down quiet halls. Rest atop a king bed as a ceiling fan provides fresh air circulation, and air conditioning keeps the humid sea air at bay.

Admire the contemporary Cuban art that lines the home’s walls. Spend some of the afternoon on the terrace, embraced by a tropical garden and outfitted with a small bar where you can order a mojito and from a red bar stool. Take a siesta on the hammock strung between two palm trees. The Garden Suite has a private balcony and direct access via a narrow staircase that leads down to an outdoor seating area surrounded by the lush garden; it’s your secret city oasis.

An energizing breakfast of french toast, natural juices, fresh fruit, and fragrant coffees will give you the needed fuel for a day of exploring sizzling Havana. El Vadado’s quiet tree-lined avenues are home to the city’s growing culinary scene. The area flourished because of Cuba’s boom in the sugar trade, making it a hotbed of grand, opulent mansions. Its storied buildings will give you a taste of what life was like in Havana when it was considered the Paris of the Caribbean.
