Hotel Saratoga

One of Havana's newest, ritziest and most dramatic hotels, the glittering Saratoga is an architectural work-of-art that stands imposingly at the intersection of Prado and Dragones with fantastic views over toward the Capitolio. Sharp, if officious, service is a feature here, as are the extra-comfortable beds, power showers and a truly decadent rooftop swimming pool. Not surprisingly, there's a price for all this luxury. The Saratoga is Havana's most expensive hotel, and while its facilities impress, its service can't quite match the marginally cheaper Meliás.
