About  Santa Isabel

The magnificent Hotel Santa Isabel has an enviable location in the heart of Old Havana, directly facing the charming cobbled square of Plaza de Armas, with its perfect blend of bars, museums & restaurants.

History & elegance go hand in hand at Santa Isabel dating back to the 19th Century, when it was owned by the Count of Santovenia (whose decorative initials can still be found in a variety of fixtures & fittings). The distinguished visitors of its colonial past continue to this day, with guests such as Jack Nicholson, Sting & ex-US president Jimmy Carter.

The grand facade is complemented by elegance inside, with a large, air-conditioned lobby boasting crystal chandeliers & beautiful period furnishings. Adjoining this is the inner courtyard where guests can relax in the sun or shade beside the tranquil fountain, while they can also enjoy the sun & spectacular views from the hotel rooftop.

The Condado restaurant has antique furnishings & maintains the elegant, colonial ambience of Santa Isabel Hotel. Breakfast can be taken there but, with views out onto the square where there are frequent markets, many guests enjoy taking breakfast outside under the shady arched gallery.

While Santa Isabel has an unparalleled location on the picturesque Plaza Armas, it is also surprisingly quiet & yet just one minute from the bustling Calle Opisbo, with its bars & music. It is easy to see why Hotel Santa Isabel is a favourite for visitors looking for a stylish stay in Old Havana.

Real Fuerza Castle (Maritime Museum)

The Real Force Castle is located in Old Havana, in an attractive area of important architectural, urban, cultural and social values. This is the oldest fortress of the former fortification system of Havana and the Americas, which construction dates back to 1577. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. A replica of the La Giraldilla, the symbol of the city, can be seen on the highest tower of the castle (the original is in the Museum of the City). Since 2008, the Museo de Navegación (Maritime Museum) is located in the former moat of the Real Force Castle. This museum houses interesting exhibits detailing the history of the fortress and Old Havana, as well as its connections with the former Spanish Empire. It’s worth mentioning that huge scale model of the Santísima Trinidad galleon can be found here.

Alejandro de Humboldt Museum

The Museo Alejandro de Humboldt (Alejandro de Humboldt Museum) is located in a Colonial house in Plaza de San Francisco de Asís Square, in Old Havana, Cuba. Its name comes from the German scientist Alejandro von Humboldt, who is seen as the second person to discover Cuba. This is a scientific museum dedicated to biology and its main objective is to preserve research and promote the historical Humboldt’s legacy. This institution enhances the labor of Cuban and international personalities whose contributions are considered relevant for the development of culture in general terms. It exhibits the historical trajectory of the scientific and botanic data he compiled throughout the island at the beginning of the 19th century, as well as a botanic exhibition which is fundamentally made up of ferns. In this museum there is a perfect copy of a Kritosaurus skeleton found in the desert and donated by the Mexican government, as well as an enormous Pterosaur skeleton, which is around 10 meters length. The House also has a conference room with capacity for 100 persons and a specialized library on German literature.

Tres Reyes del Morro Castle

Perhaps the most iconic of all Cuban fortresses. Its construction began in 1589 and was completed in 1630, playing a key role in the defence of Havana against raids by corsairs and pirates.  When the English attacked and captured Havana in the year 1762, the castle was damaged and later as soon as Spain took power again it was rebuilt and modernized. A lighthouse was added to the Morro in 1764. Standing 45 metres above sea level, it has become an unmistakeable symbol of Havana.

Automobile Museum

The Museo del Automóvil (Automobile Museum) is located in an 1892 Neoclassical construction in Old Havana. This museum is divided in two exposition rooms, which share the entire collection composed by 30 promenade cars, two rigid trucks, a funeral carriage, a special vehicle, seven motorcycles, a semaphore, three fuel pumps and two didactic imitations. This museum has a very well preserved and interesting collection of old automobiles, among which are the noteworthy Thunderbird, Pontiac, and Ford T, among others. The oldest vehicle in the collection dates from 1905, and the latest one comes from 1989. Most of them are North American, although some cars were made in Italy, Spain, Germany and Great Britain. It houses automobiles related to specific people and others antiquated vehicles. An example of this is the Cadillac used by Ernesto Che Guevara when living in Havana, the 1930 Fiat from Flor Loynaz, or the 1959 Oldsmobile used by Commander Camilo Cienfuegos.
