An elegant big house from the 18th century located very close to Old Square in Old Havana has been opened by Habaguanex as a cozy inn where the combination of modern and old architectural elements highlights the originality of its attractive design.

This noble house, built by Gabriel Beltran de Santa Cruz's parents, the first San Juan de Jaruco Count, later belonged to the descendants of the distinguished Cardenas de Monte Hermoso Marquis. The most illustrious visitors to the city gathered in this house including Baron Alejandro de Humboldt, the eminent German scientist, three French princes, the Beaujolais Count and the Montpensier and Orleans Dukes. The Orleans Duke later became Philip I of France.

The Beltran de Santa Cruz hotel offers exquisite lodging, a place that has been reborn in the old city. Should you choose this property for your accommodations while in Habana Vieja, it's sure to leave lasting memories.
