Description
Hotel Saratoga, originally built in the 1930s, quickly became renowned as one of Havana’s most stylish establishments and was a favourite haunt for writers, musicians, artists and socialites from Cuba and overseas.
Hotel Saratoga features 96 rooms and suites offering fabulous views of the National Capitol and Fraternity Park. Rooms are decorated in an inviting colonial style with Cuban mahogany furniture and marble tiled floors.
Facilities include two restaurants, two bars, a spa offering a wide range of massages and treatments, gym and a magnificent roof terrace with swimming pool and dining area with breathtaking panoramic views of Havana’s port and skyline.

Old Havana, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982, is considered to be the best preserved city in Spanish America. There is a wealth of beautiful colonial buildings to visit, museums to peruse in and plenty of fantastic bars and restaurants. Taking a walk along its cobbled streets is like taking a step back in time with classic cars on every corner.

Activities
No visit to Havana is complete without taking in a show at the Tropicana. The open-air venue has been putting on nightly cabaret shows since 1939 and features amazing costumes, great dancers, singers, incredible contortionists and acrobats. The shows are awe-inspiring – if perhaps a bit long at around three hours.
When to travel
Peak times for travellers are Christmas, Easter, July and August. These months can be overcrowded and during July and August, it’s also unpleasantly. The ideal time to visit is January to May, when it’s warm but not so crowded and there’s no threat of hurricanes (which can be a problem on the coasts from June to November).
