Top 2 Hotels in Santiago de Cuba City Hotel Melia Santiago de CubaThis five-star high-rise hotel is the real class act in town, although it's eyebrow-raising, Cubist-inspired post-modernist architecture stops many arrivees dead in their tracks. We actually like it, despite its gaudy blood-red and flamboyant sky-blue paint job framing the towering walls of glass. The vast atrium lobby gleams with marble beneath a soaring plate-glass ceiling. We've enjoyed many a mojito at the mezzanine piano lounge-bar to one side, but this Spanish-managed hotel also hosts the city's best nightclub – the Santiago Café. The huge swimming pool is framed by palms and a thatched bar-restaurant, bringing a beachfront sense to the heart of the city. Guests can choose from four restaurants, two of them gourmet, including La Isabela – to many people, the city's best restaurant, and we agree. Since the hotel caters as much to business travelers as to tourists (it's a staple of tour groups), there's a well-stocked cigar store plus a fully-equipped business center and meeting rooms. Plus the gym is well-equipped, the ladies can freshen up with beauty treatments, and a small shopping plaza includes fashion boutiques. © 2009 Nigel Hunt  Hotel Gran Caribe CasagrandaAn institution for almost a century (Graham Greene was one famous figure who featured the hotel in his novels), this grande-dame hotel stands over Parque Céspedes. A more enviable setting is hard to imagine! We like this hotel on almost every level, although many of the staff seem indifferent, there's no on-site parking, and despite a recent refurbishing in 2005, this hotel already looks weary and overdue for yet another face-lift. We love sitting at the open-air ground floor snack bar overlooking the park – a great venue for catching the buzz of activity, and for sampling a mojito and cigar. The main restaurant offers sumptuous decor, including gilt mirrors and chandeliers; it does a reasonable job with criolla and continental dishes, although it's a tad pricey for what you get. The open-air rooftop grill is to be enjoyed for the spectacular views over the city. © 2009 Nigel Hunt |
