San Miguel - Hotel Description
A stay at the San Miguel Hotel will probably feel like a privileged sojourn at someone’s private mansion, a treat for those who prefer small, intimate settings.
As in many of the Old Town’s properties now operating as hotels, restoration efforts here have been guided by taste and fidelity to historical fact: most of the San Miguel’s furniture and décor is original, and the discrete, modern-day fittings blend imperceptibly with these. Some furnishings, such as the upholstered arm-chairs and sofa in the seating-area-turned-lobby-bar next to the reception show worn, faded patterns, signs of use which add to the feeling of authenticity and intimacy.
With only 10 rooms, the San Miguel is the kind of cozy establishment where you can reasonably expect to make friends with the staff and be on a first-name basis with them. Despite the aristocratic elegance of the interiors, there’s no stuffy etiquette or protocol here: guests will find hotel spaces welcoming and feel at home as they to take their meals in the sunny 2nd-floor restaurant and hall, the adjacent Sevillana terrace or the roof terrace, which has a killer view of the harbour and the Morro complex lighthouse, across the bay.
Off the Malecón, the San Miguel is also an excellent starting point for any sightseeing venture into Havana’s Old Town and its historic sites. |

San Miguel - Room & Rates |
|
| |
Standard Room... from $48 USD
Varyingly shaped, the San Miguel’s 10 standard rooms have been decorated to preserve the feel of an old mansion. The scarce antique furnishings, tall draped windows and early-century portraits hung on the walls give the accommodations a kind of Victorian austerity that might not suit all tastes, but the overall result is certainly agreeable. The 5 rooms with balconies have of course the best views (the remaining five face and inner patio), and couples should try to secure the 1 room fitted with a matrimonial bed. Travelling families or small groups best opt for rooms 21 and 22, which face each other across a common and private seating area off the main hallway (whose view one can even block by drawing a small curtain across the entrance). |

San Miguel - Location |
|
| |
| That the San Miguel enjoys an excellent location is clear to anyone standing on its roof terrace, where the view of Havana’s colonial lighthouse is magnificent. The hotel is also conveniently situated at the rim of the Old Town, close to its many places of interest and to more modern Vedado, which is a short taxi-ride (or negotiable walk) away. |
