Famously, Hemingway wrote three novels in one of Cuba’s fading art deco hotels, bashing away at the keys of his typewriter while Cadillacs purred beneath his window, below. And things have not much changed. Because of its revolution and ensuing blockade, Cuban accommodation is an inviting time-capsule to a world of tropical glamor and restful ease. You might even be inspired to pen your own book while you’re here. Or you could just stick to the ropa vieja and rum.

Nothing is strictly ‘ordinary’ in Cuba. That’s why we love it, and cannot stop ourselves from coming back. Its hotels, for this reason, embody everything that’s unique about the country - from its fascinating tangle of colonial-era architecture to its Afro-Latin cultural roots. This, of course, includes truly glamorous old-world hotels, both in the cities and in the sprawling landscapes and tobacco plantations that surround them. At the same time, the country also has a unique ecosystem of properties that can’t be found anywhere else.

As far as more ‘traditional’ hotels go, Cuba offers everything from small boutiques nestled in the heart of Havana - giving you an enviable perspective on local life - to large, glamorous hotels with more than a whiff of 20th century ambience. Architecturally, checking in to these hotels feels like stepping back in time, or into the fictional world of James Bond. Other unmissable options include city penthouses decked out with fixings and fittings that expertly balance 1950s style with chic, modern comforts. Due to the way in which cities and towns such as Havana and Trinidad have grown, such tranquil oases are often only a short walk away from bustling plazas, shaded squares, and incredibly authentic dining. They’re the perfect platform from which to dive into the sensory throng of Cuban culture.

As an island, many parts of Cuba are rarely that far a drive from the sea. This explains the country’s enviable array of luxury beach resorts and sophisticated hotels, many of which have views directly over the warm, welcoming waters of the Atlantic. The hotels and villas that we have access to include an entire, stunning mansion. Its remarkable old-world, colonial architecture is combined with chic boutique rooms and penthouses, offering up that truly Cuban combination of eclectic culture, modern comfort, and cultural ambience that’s rivalled by few other locations. Cuba’s hotels, particularly those which glance toward the ocean beyond, truly define what we mean by a ‘sense of place.’
