Marqués de Prado Ameno Hotel
Between arcades and columns made of stone, Marquis de Prado Ameno Hotel reemerges in the same old spirit and poise of a site that stands out for its burst of color. Guest rooms and corridors feature fragments of mural paintings from different periods, while pieces found in archaeological excavations make up the decoration of a place, which has been turned into a 4-star facility.

Behind the front door of what used to be the residence of various generations of the distinguished Prado Ameno family, a spacious hallway with a solid staircase built onto one side of the central courtyard invites you to discover the footprints of a property built in the first decade of the 18th century. The perfect transition towards the 19th century can be seen through its interior connection with Florida Hotel. Architectural values, such as round column capitals and the façade crowned by a small niche for religious worship, have turned this property into one of the most impressive buildings on O’Reilly street.
Marquis de Prado Ameno Hotel, located on one of the old city’s main arteries, is very near Víctor Hugo House, an institution dedicated to promote the values of French and Cuban cultures; and Factoría Habana, a restored space that hosts contemporary art exhibitions.
A Cuban colonial house-looking building, this hotel has 16 rooms, a terrace, a bar and a cybercafe. Another attraction is Salón Manzano (Manzano Room) which, with a seating capacity of 10, evokes the famous poet Juan Francisco Manzano, who used to live here as Marquises de Prado Ameno’s slave.
Memories of several generations of the Marquis of Prado Ameno family hang around the building housing the Taberna El Molino (El Molino Tavern), specializing in local and international cuisine. This spot, characterized by an intimate space, enhanced by the building courtyard, is an ideal place for those who enjoy a romantic dinner.(Further reading)
