Six of Havana’s Coolest Independent Hotels

With its doors newly opened, Hotel Claxon presents an homage to classic cars and the timeless elegance of Havana. This recently restored colonial building in the hip neighborhood of Vedado is a stone's throw from the iconic Plaza de la Revolución and offers a tranquil couryard for guests to unwind.

The hotel's rooftop terrace is the perfect spot for for sipping on one of their signature cocktails (we recommend the raspberry daiquiri) and taking in the panoramic views of Havana's pulsating heart.

Within the hotel's walls, Fangio Habana restaurant, directed by Madrid's Michelin-experienced Chef Sergio Hernández Fernández, is a culinary highlight, crafting exceptional dishes with a local twist. The outdoor patio and dining room have quickly become favored spots for local luminaries to gather, reflecting the Hotel Claxon’s role as a crossroads for culture and conversation.
