hotel presidente best all inclusive resorts in cuba. The Hotel Presidente, opened in 1928 with a whopping 10 floors, was Havana’s first skyscraper. Located along the wide Avenida de los Presidentes (known locally as Calle G), the park here is a popular spot for family strolls or reading the morning paper. Likewise, the world-famous Malecón, just a couple of blocks away, makes a great spot for watching the sun set.
The Presidente’s architecture evokes a bygone era, enhanced by the vintage cars parked at the entrance. The deep, shaded terrace out front catches sea breezes and is popular for having cocktails or a snack. Families traveling with children can have tons of fun at the modern, primary-colored playground just down the block.
The lobby looks like it could be an annex of the Museo de Artes Decorativas, also located in the Vedado district. Marble floors and columns, chandeliers, and classic furniture and chairs (upholstered in ruby red, green and cream colored fabrics) give the lobby an antique parlor feel. Marble and bronze sculptures and Japanese porcelain vases (XIX and XX century) contribute to the eclectic décor here.
To the left of the lobby is the classically chic Chez Merito restaurant. The buffet restaurant, where a robust breakfast is served, is nearby and has a Mediterranean flair. Just beyond is the compact pool – a preferred spot for cooling off after a hot day exploring the city.

The standard rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and clean. The style here is minimalistic grandeur, not over-the-top ostentatious. The modern bathrooms are also spacious and comfortable.

The suites are located on the tenth floor and are pretty glorious. They are spacious and comfortable, with classic-style furnishings. What makes the suites stellar is the private terrace, with panoramic views over the city and sea.

The Hotel Presidente’s location inspires long walks along the seafront Malecón – to the east is the Hotel Nacional de Cuba; to the west is the 1830 complex with its wonderful Japanese gardens. Coppelia (ice cream parlor), a popular hang out for Cubans, is also located in the Vedado district, as is the Museo de Artes Decorativas. This is one of the hottest areas at night where clubs, bars and restaurants abound.
