Residencia Santa Clara — Boutique Hotel in Old Havana

A modern sanctuary within Old Havana.

Residencia Santa Clara is a highly individual boutique hotel where modern architecture meets the historical charm of Cuba. We believe in serious hospitality, offering a space that feels like a sun-warmed, design-conscious Cuban home.

Built with recycled local materials and a commitment to practical design, our hotel provides an unusually personal service and honest value for the discerning traveler.

A Glimpse of Residencia

More than Guests

We treat every guest as more than a booking, with thoughtful personal attention and warm Cuban hospitality throughout each stay, whenever we can.

Value for Money

We offer honest value through clear advice, dependable comfort and realistic expectations, so guests can choose and stay with confidence from the start.

Quirky yet Practical

Our character comes from bold architecture and inventive details, always designed with a practical purpose rather than simply being different for its own sake.
