Miramar Hotels

In Miramar, luxury and budget hotels sit to the west of Havana in the most expensive and exclusive area in the city. Miramar is home to foreign embassies, tree-lined boulevards and palatial houses. Miramar also harbours many fascinating museums, including the Museo del Ministerio del Interior, which contains an excellent history of the cold war. In Havana Miramar, you can also visit Cuba’s National Aquarium or the Botanical Gardens, with their beautiful Caribbean and Cuban species, and excellent Japanese Garden. Also worth leaving your Miramar family hotel for is Maqueta La Habana, a meticulously measured small-scale replica of Havana that rivals the New York equivalent.

Budget hotels in Miramar are a little harder to find, in such an exclusive neighbourhood. However, one hotel rated as 3-star, perhaps only because of its very keen rates, is the Montehabana Hotel. This new-build family hotel in Miramar provides great value for money, with an entire apartment available for less than a small room in other Miramar hotels. This budget Miramar hotel looks out on a large park and is convenient for the ocean, the trade centre, the embassies and some great shopping. There's entertainment in the shape of a live band on most nights and guests get free use of the neighbouring luxury Occidental Miramar Hotel swimming pools.
