Ready to fly to Havana? Make your trip as pleasant as it is sustainable with these eco-friendly hotels in Cuba.
When you think of Cuba, the first images that spring to mind are often those of Havana’ s pastel facades and salsa dancers. But the island, steeped in history, also abounds in natural riches. Its coral reefs, white sand beaches and mountain ranges are all treasures to be preserved.
While the country has had no choice but to integrate sobriety into its economic model, the transition to responsible tourism is still a work in progress. Fortunately, more and more travel professionals are making the ecological choice.
Follow in their footsteps and join the movement by discovering the island in an environmentally-friendly way. Why not start by staying in one of Cuba’s best eco-friendly hotels?

💙 We love: the spectacular rooftop infinity pool.
Fancy a trip back in time? Set sail for the heart of Havana’s old town, in the footsteps of Marlon Brando and other celebrities who once stayed here. Originally opened in 1911, this hotel has had an eventful history. For a time, the building was a car showroom, before being nationalized in 1959 and then abandoned.
Today, it’s fair to say that it’s had a facelift. It has been transformed into a contemporary luxury hotel. Top-of-the-range spa, gourmet restaurant: it’s all here! Not to mention the incredible infinity pool on the rooftop…
A contemporary palace means a contemporary commitment. The Iberostar Grand Packard is part of the Iberostar Group’s ambitious policy of eco-responsible hotels, which aims to be carbon neutral by 2030.

💙 We love: the rooftop terrace with rooftop views, and its swimming pool.
In the same spirit of luxury, but with a more classic atmosphere, head for the Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski. In the purest tradition of grand hotels, this palace unfurls its nuggets over the six floors of a historic building constructed in 1917. These include an inviting spa, lounges each more refined than the last, a panoramic restaurant, several bars… As for curiosities, a small gallery in the basement reveals a piece of the city’s ancient foundations.
But here too, the highlight is to be found on the roof. Offering a 360° view of the city’s monuments, it houses a sublime infinity pool. At sunset, it’s the perfect place to take some of the best shots on your Instagram feed!
Of course, to earn its place among our best eco-responsible hotels in Cuba, the Gran Hotel Manzana must demonstrate a solid commitment to the environment. And this is indeed the case, as demonstrated by its Earthcheck Label certification.
