Hotel Inglaterra, Historic hotel in Central Havana, Cuba.

This four-story establishment features a neoclassical facade with stained-glass windows, colorful mosaics, and Sevillian ironwork, along with a rooftop terrace offering views of the surrounding cityscape and nearby landmarks.

Officially opened on December 23, 1875, the hotel stands as the oldest continuously operating accommodation in Cuba, having hosted notable guests including Winston Churchill, Enrico Caruso, and Federico García Lorca throughout its more than 145 years of service.

The building has served as a social gathering place for artists, musicians, and politicians since the late 19th century, contributing significantly to Havana's cultural life and earning its designation as a National Monument in 1981.

Located on Paseo del Prado, the hotel offers 83 simply furnished rooms, several dining options including a rooftop grill, a lobby bar, and easy access to Central Park, the National Capitol, and the Alicia Alonso Grand Theater within walking distance.

The interior combines marble floors, antique chandeliers, and colonial artifacts with restaurant artwork donated by Cuban artists, creating a distinctive atmosphere that blends European architectural influences with local artistic traditions and historic character.
