Frommer's "This is one of the most highly touted hotels of the Habaguanex chain, and it is a lovely little hotel, wonderfully located on the eastern end of the Plaza de Armas." Full review
Lonely Planet "Considered one of Havana's finest hotels, as well as one of its oldest... the Hotel Santa Isabel is housed in the Palacio de los Condes de Santovenia, the former crash pad of a decadent Spanish count." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The glamorous colonial-themed Hotel Santa Isabel has tradition and elegance combined with stylish 19th-century furnishings and a inviting marble-floored lobby lounge."
Rough Guide "One of the most exclusive of Habana Vieja’s hotels, this impressively restored eighteenth-century building features colonial-style furnishings in all the rooms and a fountain in the idyllic arched courtyard."
Fodor's "Best views here are to be had in rooms and junior sweets that overlook the popular Plaza de Armas, with its many booksellers, artists, and restaurants." Full review

Lonely Planet "Meyer Lansky's magnificent Vegas-style palace has leapt back into fashion with its gloriously retro lobby almost unchanged since 1957 (when it was the height of modernity)." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A famous 1950s high-rise Hotel Habana Riviera overlooks the waterfront boulevard."
Rough Guide "Built by the mafia in the 1950s as a casino hotel, the Riviera retains much of that era’s style."
Fodor's "Although it's large, impersonal, and inefficient, the Riviera is home to El Palacio de la Salsa, one of Havana's best music venues." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The lobby, with its sharp modernist lines and Vegas-style ostentation, looks like a set from The Godfather: Part II, while the rooms are less striking." Full review
