Telegrafo (4 star)

This authentic and luxury hotel goes back in time to remind us the paradigm of the hotel it used to be during the XIX century.  Its ecleptical facade reveals today the architectural evolution of the hotel.  Its original conception goes back to the first two stories that were the prelude for the third story making it look a more contemporaneous building.  Sixty three spacious rooms of high buttresses installed along the three room stories provide the view of the whole Prado Promenade.  Its inner sites discover the ruins of the main central patio where the snack-bar is located.  Its big half arcades without plaster reveal bricks and masonry which contrasts with the modern design of the hotel.  It has a big ceramic mural, in the form of a collage showing elements of Havana colonial architecture and  the fountain which magnify the  patio and its surrounding old ruins.  The international restaurant is located on the ground floor of the building.  Its decorations with contemporaneous furniture transmit a classic atmosphere to the open halls lighted by stained glasses.

The Hotel Telegrafo opened in December of 2001. There are 63 spacious rooms, six suites with adjoining rooms for families with children.  This hotel has been in business in the city since about 1860.  The present location is just a beginning.  It has a main central patio where the snack bar is located.  It has Havana colonial architecture.  The international restaurant is located on the ground floor.  This hotel has class.
