Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Saratoga

Located right across from the Capitolio and overlooking the Parque de la Fraternidad, this is easily the best international-class business hotel in Cuba. The owners of this independent hostelry have spared no expense in creating a first-class environment. The award-winning design elements, constant care, refurbishments, and the sheer quality of each element, from mattresses to fixtures, means accolades are well deserved. A pool, rooftop bar, and two fine restaurants further add to the appeal. Beyoncé and Jay-Z chose to make it their home while in Havana, so if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for most.
