The building dates back to 1890, and it was renovated in 2010. The hotel offers a total of 27 rooms across 5 floors. Facilities at this air-conditioned establishment include a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out services, a hotel safe, currency exchange facilities and lift access to the rooms. There is a shop, café, bar and à la carte restaurant. Conference facilities are also available. Internet access, room service (for a fee) and a laundry service are all offered.
The hotel enjoys an excellent location surrounded by a classy city area. It is located in front of the convent of San Francisco de Asis. Nearby are the galleries Carmen Montilla and Los Oficios, as well as the Café de Oriente and La Lonja del Comercio, the old stock exchange of Havana. A little further away guests will find the Chocolate Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Cuban Ceramics in Calle la Amargura.
