Amenities
Rooftop Pool
It’s very hard to find a place to cool off in Old Havana unless you are staying at one of the old hotels. Incredibly, Gardens has one of the very few rooftop pools so you can enjoy a dip before breakfast with your coffee as the sun comes up, or switch to a mojito in the evening to enjoy as the sun falls behind the unique backdrop of Havana.
Itinerary planning
Whether it’s your first time in Cuba or thirty first, we’d love to help you plan your trip. One of the many wonders of this city is its fast changing culture and the new venues that pop up every week to keep up with it. Massiel and her team at Gardens would love to help you get the most out of your time in Cuba which we highly recommend doing given how difficult the country can be to navigate. For the time and money it takes to plan we do charge a notional $50 / day to cover expenses.
Please email us at reservations@gardenshavana.com, tell us what most interests you and we will do our very best to make recommendations and book anything you like for you.
Breakfast included, staff on hand
Served in your room, on the patio or in the dining room, wake up to a home cooked breakfast from our in-house chef which will consist of teas, local coffee, eggs, fresh vegetables (including avocado when in season), freshly made bread and fruits.
Furthermore, we have a chef and housekeeper to prepare other meals and drinks throughout the day with a dash of forward planning. What better way to come back from the beach or a walking tour than with some fresh mojitos waiting for you…
Please do get in touch prior to arrival with any dietary requests and we will do our very best to prepare exactly what you would like.
Handmade furniture
It almost seems silly to include this as an amenity, but we spent years not only sourcing the right materials, but finding the right carpenters to use to build our furniture. It was important to us that we sourced locally and that the design fitted into our overall goal to maintain Cuban culture while insisting on luxury and comfort.
Feel free to ask us all about how we did it and even meet the men that put the pieces together. They live just 3 blocks away.
Reading room
Gardens is your escape from the bustling streets of Havana so please enjoy the reading room on the lower level to kick back and relax or listen to some music.
Music is the soul of Havana, so we have Marshall speakers throughout the house for you to relax to or dance to, depending on your mood.
Signature bathrooms
Bathrooms don’t usually get heralded as amenties to a property but for us they were a focus. Just like our furniture, we insisted on sourcing the tiles locally and some even from the original house, because it’s so important to us that you always feel connected to the country you are in.
