Overview:
The hotel Conde de Villanueva was designed especially for the joy and delight of cigar smokers, each room taking a name from a famous Cuban tobacco plantation, and it hosts the best cigar shop in town secretly occult in the hotel mezzanine.
Here, the passionate cigar aficionados can even rent their personal humidor, something along the line of a personal vault in a Swiss bank. However, you don’t have to be a smoker to enjoy the colonial patio with its rich vegetation and mahogany rocking chairs.
The fact that the hotel has only nine rooms provokes some of the most recurring clients to reserve the entire place for themselves and their friends when traveling to Havana on special occasions.
The building is the small and beautiful mansion of Claudio Martínez de Pinillos, Count of Villanueva, leader of the creole Havana society in the 19th century. It was restored and is now run by the Office of the Historian of Havana, so all benefits derived are reinvested in the restoration of the historical center of Old Havana.
The Hotel Conde de Villanueva is just 2 minutes away from the major attractions of Old Havana.
