"Sitting on a high bluff overlooking the Malecón, this is Havana's signature hotel, and it's loaded with atmosphere." Full review

The overpriced, tasteless dinner option at the hotel cabaret is best avoided.
Rough Guide
"One of Havana’s best-looking hotels, with the air of an Arabian palace."
Fodor's
"Memorabilia of such famous (and infamous) guests as Winston Churchill, Ava Gardner, Frank Sinatra, and Meyer Lansky, the Nacional still buzzes... though rooms are disappointing." Full review

"This place doesn't look like much from the outside and things don't get significantly better inside." Full review
Lonely Planet
"A long-term fixture on the Malecón, this former Mafia gambling den doesn't quite match up to the stellar views." Full review
Rough Guide
"Plain, seafront, high-rise hotel with the brightest and best-appointed rooms among the relatively modest selection in Centro Habana, many with fantastic views of the Malecón, Habana Vieja and Vedado."
Fodor's
"Such a good deal that the clientele is usually an interesting collection of students, professors, and the occasional writer. What's more, the disco is one of the city's hottest."

Budget
"The lower-middle-range Hotel Deauville is an iconic Art Deco landmark with a colorful mob history and an incredible address -- right on the Malecon, overlooking Havana Bay." Full review
