It’s All About Details

Distinction and entrepreneurial pride in providing service to a big-spending travel sector with working, cultural or tourist interests of its own.

In the Heart of Havana Located in one of Havana’s main streets, right across from the city’s Central Park and standing out as a distinctive piece from the many buildings that make up this portion of Old Havana’s historic center (the Grand Theater, the Capitol and the National Museum of Fine Arts), the NH Central Park Hotel makes its own contribution to the surrounding environment, giving a corporate look to the colonial ambience. The hotel is marked by breathtaking elegance and soothing soberness, a rare combination that can really meet all the expectations of the selective group of guests this lodging was built for.

Conveniences that Make a Difference All details and decorative elements help make the hotel’s ambience very unique. In a word, this five-star establishment packs a wallop from the moment visitor step into an intimate lobby spruced up with sculptures, paintings, candlesticks, mirrors, lamps and plenty of exquisite knickknacks. The bar, hedged with tropical plants and exotic shrubs, goes hand in hand in perfect harmony with the overall lobby outlay. The colonial-style marble staircases lead up to a mezzanine or upper lobby featuring a bar-library lounge where guests can spend time reading a good book or talking to friends and relatives. Customized service will be waiting just for you on both lobby decks.

The eclectic architecture of this establishment, its 277 rooms and suites –all overlooking Central Park, the Prado Causeway and the surrounding buildings, teeming with baroque and rococo ornaments- make the present melt into the past effortlessly. A grand tour around the suites reveals a refined sense of what esthetic decoration and comfort are really all about. The rooms also sport works of art by major Cuban fine artists and are outfitted with all necessary accessories and gizmos indispensable in today’s world. Since the hotel was designed to accommodate business travelers, all rooms are equipped with small tables or desks, small waiting rooms that are very suitable for formal or informal chats. Businesspeople and tourists alike have expressed satisfaction with the hotel’s conveniences and services, an assertion that explains why so many of them prefer the NH Central Park when they fly back to Cuba.

The eighth floor is alfresco and offers a superb bird’s-eye view of Old Havana, the city of huge buildings that still breathe next to others that wait to be brought back to life through a patient refurbishment process, a city that features time-stricken walls, creating an exotic contrast similar to what Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier called “the American real marvelous.” On that same floor, guests may take a swim in a small but gracious swimming pool. Down at the pergola, the splendid bar is sprinkled by the charms of the lush tropical vegetation. Believe me; the view will stay for forever more in your memory.

The Key to Returning No wonder so many political figures and boldface names of the world culture and the arts have stayed at this hotel. And all of them have been pleased by the facility’s services and conveniences on the one hand, and the professional treatment of its staff on the other. Many of these personalities have returned to NH Central Park Hotel time and again, a signal of the grandeur and top quality of this celebrated lodging.

The Habano House Another allure the NH Central Park has to offer is the Habano House lodged in the Cuaba Hall. In addition to a vast assortment of cigars, the hotel’s Habano House features a smokers’ room equipped with comfy furniture where guests may puff at a top-notch stogie while sipping at their liquor of choice. In this peculiar walled space, Habano aficionados can steal a closer look at the cigar-making process as the skilled hands of a man turns dry tobacco leaves into magnificent burning gems.
