Gran Hotel

Gran Hotel Review

This stately, five-story building in Camagüey's historic heart has been a hotel since 1939. Its bright lobby has chandeliers hung from high ceilings and various other antiques, the elevator being one of them. Rooms are small and dark, have high ceilings and old tile floors; those facing the street are the biggest, but they can be noisy at night. Although the 5th-floor restaurant is lovely (it's furnished with antiques and surrounded by windows and glass doors that open onto a wraparound balcony), the food often disappoints. Even if you stay elsewhere, stop in for a sunset drink at the rooftop bar.
