Iberostar Grand Packard

★ 4.7$300-$500 — $400-$650Luxury

Sophisticated Art Deco hotel on the Malecón with harbor views and butler service. Elegant rooms blend colonial charm with modern luxury in this adults-only property.

Iberostar Grand Packard stands at the northern end of the Paseo del Prado where Havana's grandest boulevard meets the Malecón and the open harbour. The building, a restored Art Deco structure dating from the early 20th century, was once the Hotel Packard, a social landmark of pre-revolutionary Havana. The Iberostar group's restoration has preserved the building's sweeping curves and ornamental stonework while introducing contemporary luxury interiors, butler service, and five-star amenities throughout. The hotel is exclusively for guests aged 16 and over, making it well-suited to couples and sophisticated independent travellers. The 324 rooms and suites are distributed across six floors, with higher floors offering spectacular views over the Malecón, the harbour mouth, and the fortress of El Morro across the bay. Premium categories include Deluxe Rooms with Prado views and Grand Suites with private terraces. Butler service is standard across all room categories, providing personalised itinerary assistance, in-room dining arrangements, and luggage handling. Three restaurant and bar outlets serve distinct dining experiences: a speciality à la carte restaurant focused on Cuban-Mediterranean cuisine, a buffet restaurant serving international and Cuban dishes, and the rooftop sky bar which functions as a cocktail and light bites venue with panoramic city and harbour views. The rooftop pool, framed by the original Art Deco parapet, ranks among Havana's most photographed hotel facilities. The spa provides a full menu of treatments alongside sauna and steam facilities. A cigar lounge and dedicated rum bar celebrate Cuba's two most celebrated exports, with staffed tastings and pairing recommendations available on request. The hotel's Prado address provides pedestrian access to El Capitolio, the Gran Teatro de La Habana, and the UNESCO-listed historic core of Old Havana, all within a five-minute walk.
