Hotel Velasco
Only 30 km from
Varadero beach in the center of Matanzas, the recently-restored Hotel Velasco (dating from 1902), combine a friendly, luxurious atmosphere with personal touches.
Hotel Velasco - with its eclectic architecture and great historical and cultural value - is one of the most important buildings in downtown Matanzas. The interior renovation made elegant use of marble, granite and precious woods, accentuating the historical feel of this small hotel.
Hotel Velasco received the
Hoteles E (Encanto) logo and is part of a project with the aim to rescue architectural landmarks in historic urban areas and upgrade them with modern amenities so they can be put in to service as tourist hotels. Hoteles E are designed to support
Cuba’s burgeoning cultural tourism sector while emphasizing personal attention in an intimate atmosphere.
