Fodor's Expert Review NH Capri La Habana

Originally built in 1957, the hotel was once a famous hangout for mobsters and gangsters, but after a long period of closure, it has undergone a complete renovation and re-opened in 2014 under the management of the Spanish NH hotel chain. Now one of Havana's most modern-looking hotels, the NH Capri really is a step above most in terms of service and facilities. Features such as a large gym, sauna, and steam bath are unheard of in most of Cuba's hotels. Rooms are large and offer contemporary, colorful design and modern amenities. The rooftop pool offers fabulous city views and the three lively bars host live international and Cuban music. Its excellent Vedado location means that it's close to many good restaurants and paladares, as well as the iconic Hotel Nacional and the atmospheric Malecón.
