Hotel Parque Central (Havana)

               Although I've never stayed in this hotel, I have never heard anyone say anything bad about this place. I have, however, visited several of it's facilities and in that respect it has never disappointed me. Whether it's been at the Cigar Shop discretely located on the 2nd floor, or the Steakhouse in a corner of the main lobby, I've always been pleased with quality of product and service.
               The Hotel Parque Central occupies one whole block of Calle Neptuno between Prado and Zulueta, its main facade rising from where the original existed. By 1990 the original building on this block was a ruin. These arcades were the only structures remaining after the main building had been demolished. The reconstruction began in 1995 and by May of 1999 the new Hotel Parque Central opened it's doors.

Hotel Parque Central Facilities

Restaurant "Mediterráneo"
Casual restaurant with á-la-carte service, prime location overlooking Parque Central & the Paseo del Prado, with direct access from both. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have never eaten here.
Restaurant "El Paseo"
Classic restaurant in a French traditional style with a piano player at certain times of the day projecting an elegant atmosphere. The service is professional and the steaks are of North American standards. In my opinion, worth the money if you crave a good steak. Not cheap.
Lobby Bar "El Pórtico"
Located in the hotel lobby, with an atmosphere of a subtropical garden. Anyone, guests and visitors alike, can sit around the lobby, have drinks and order some appetizer or hors d’oeuvres from their menu. In my opinion, the best part is that they allow cigar smoking. Many hotels are disallowing smoking nowadays.
Living room "Alameda"
I was not aware of this space having a name. I believe they are making reference to the second floor lobby...is the only way to describe it. A lot quieter than the main lobby below and with comfortable chairs. A good place to hide from all the traffic and noise and maybe do some reading or homework.
Pool Bar "Nuevo Mundo"
Located on the last floor, by the pool. They make an amazing hamburger, at least they did the last couple of times I was here. Their Cuban sandwiches are good as well. The views of Parque Central and beyond are spectacular.
