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.

San Francisco de Asís Square

This square dates back to the first half of the 17th century. Its location, just a few metres from the bay, led to it becoming an important trading square over the years. It is said that around the year 1600 the first fountain of the city could be seen at this square. In 1836 it was replaced by a beautiful fountain made of white Carrara marble by Giuseppe Gaggini, under the good auspices of the Villanueva Count. This fountain is called Fuente de los Leones (Lions Fountain). On its paved area stand two noteworthy buildings: the Monastery and Basilica of San Francisco de Asís, which today houses the Museum of Religious Art and a concert hall. It is also where the Lonja del Comercio (Chamber of Commerce) is located, inspired by Spanish Renaissance architecture and topped by a dome on which a sculpture of the god Mercury stands. Among the houses built around the plaza, the house of the Arostegui family, residence of the Captain Generals until the completion of the City Hall at the end of the 18th century, was erected.

The Convento de Santa Clara (Santa Clara Convent) is located at the south of Plaza Vieja Square of Havana. This is the biggest and oldest convent in all of Cuba, built between 1638 and 1643, and it is a good example of early Spanish influenced architecture. It was actually the first female convent in the city. The temple stopped serving for religious purposes in 1920, housing for some time the Ministry of Public Works.
