La propiedad — Ca'D'Oro
A faded 1950s gem in El Vedado, Ca’D’Oro feels like stepping into a time capsule of pre-revolution Havana. The lobby’s terrazzo floors, marble-fronted reception desk and heavy wooden lift hint at a quieter, more formal era. It's basic but honest — clean rooms, air-conditioning that works, and a rooftop terrace with views over the Malecon. Best for travellers who want a functional base in a central, walkable neighbourhood rather than charm or nightlife.
Crónicas de El Vedado
Havana was founded in 1519 by Spanish colonisers as a vital port for treasure ships. Its 16th-century fortifications grew into a Baroque and Neoclassical showpiece under colonial rule. The 20th century brought Art Deco and Modernist buildings, especially in the upmarket El Vedado district, where broad avenues and private homes reflected Cuba’s wealth before the 1959 revolution. Today Havana is a UNESCO World Heritage site, its fading grandeur both a tourist draw and a daily reality for residents.

- The Havana Malecon seawall is undergoing partial repairs, so a stretch from Calle G to Calle K may be fenced off in July; walk west from the hotel to avoid the works.
- Cuba’s severe fuel shortages have reduced taxi availability; book colectivos or official taxis from your hotel in advance, especially for early airport runs.
- The 2026 summer season sees new open-air concerts at the nearby José Martí Anti-Imperialist Plaza — check local listings for possible road closures on event days.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Ca'D'Oro, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on higher floors (above 3rd floor) for minimal street noise, as Calle 17 is a moderately busy street in El Vedado. The hotel's lift only reaches up to the 4th floor, so be prepared for stairs or a short walk.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift (stairwells on lower floors and rooms 104-107) due to frequent use and potential noise disturbance.
Best views
Some rooms on the 4th floor may offer a partial view of the surrounding cityscape, although the hotel's location in a residential area means the views are mostly of the surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 3-4 are likely the quietest, as they're away from the street and lift noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise from Calle 17, especially on lower floors. The hotel's location in a residential area means a generally quiet atmosphere, but traffic and pedestrian activity can still be heard.
Insider tips
Arrive early for check-in to ensure you get a good room allocation, as the hotel may fill up quickly, especially during peak season. Take a short walk to the nearby Malecón seaside promenade for stunning ocean views and a glimpse of Havana's vibrant culture.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
