The Miramar Hotel, hubbed in and named after this Havana's residential area, conveys a feeling of vastness and comfort. Its many rooms and halls offer whatever it takes to have a pleasant stay. At the same time, the facility is outfitted for events, congress and incentives thanks in part to its business center. The center is split up in three rooms seating 200 people combined and equipped with all audio and visual means (public address systems, video beams, mikes, master room, Internet and e-mail hookups). It also provides custom-made service for events and is prepared to hold banquets, cocktails, private dinners, galas and business lunches.

The hotel can be reached by driving down a near expressway. The facility is linked to Havana's International Conference Center and this connection has allowed attendants to the Summit of the 77, the Inter Parliamentary Meeting and Pedagogy to stay in its snug rooms. Its experience in catering to incentive groups was realized with pharmaceutical company Novartis Roche and the firm Bodegas de Vino La Navarra. In the same breath, the hotel has hosted other lesser events such as Consult 2002 and Intersputnik.
