![]() Hotel Raquel | ![]() Terrasse On The Roof | ![]() Interior |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Located in a wonderfully idiosyncratic building with a neo-Churrigueresque façade and tendrils of Art Nouveau wrought iron decoration, the Hotel Raquel contains further delightful design eccentricities including a vast stained glass canopy roof and a watchtower from which one can look out over the streets and squares of Old Havana. Many of the rooms have biblical names and besides the hotel being called The Rachel there are decorative references to the Bible and to the Jewish faith throughout the building, which was restored.
It is now run by the Office of the City Historian of Havana, so all its profits are reinvested in the restoration of the city’s historical centre. It stands very near Plaza Vieja and the Plaza de San Francisco, and is only a few minutes’ walk from all the other main attractions in Old Havana. © 2013 Nigel Hunt

The 21 standard rooms at the Hotel Raquel are very pleasant, with a mixture of well-designed dark wood and wrought iron furniture and curtains and upholstery in creamy colours. The ceilings are high and some rooms have lovely stone balconies overlooking the roofs of Old Havana. Bathrooms are pleasantly bright with blue and cream tiling. There are only 2 standard rooms with matrimonial beds. The other 19 are twin bedded. There are 16 rooms with balcony & 6 rooms without windows.

The 4 Junior Suites aren’t really all that different from standard rooms at the Raquel apart from being rather larger and having small seating areas. They all have balconies with views over the surrounding streets and are elegantly decorated in a similarly pale, creamy colour palette to the standard rooms.
