Ay, no hay que llorar, ¡que la vida es un carnaval! Axel Hotels announces its next opening in Havana for the end of 2020.

The new hotel will be located in the center of old Havana just a few steps from the National Capitol Building and the Gran Teatro de La Habana, with direct access to the Paseo del Prado which leads to the legendary pier from which you can see the emblematic lighthouse known amongst tourists as the ¨morro de La Habana¨.

In terms of leisure activities, only a few meters from the hotel you´ll find La Floridita, the birthplace of the Daiquiri, and 900 meters from the hotel is the famous Bodeguita del Medio where you can try exceptional mojitos. The future Axel Hotel La Habana – Telégrafo, will be in what was the emblematic Hotel Telégrafo, located in a building founded in 1860.

The hotel will be in the 4 star category, will have 63 rooms, and all the indispensable Axel Hotel services: Restaurant, Spa & Fitness, Lounge Bar, and Sky Bar on the rooftop terrace with a pool, solarium, and lounge where you can enjoy the unique Axel ambience and its heterofriendly philosophy.

Havana, which is celebrating its 500 year anniversary since its founding this year, 2019, is known as a welcoming, diverse, and cosmopolitan city, receiving millions of visitors from all over the world every year.  In the last few years, the tourism sector in Cuba has been looking to attract the LGBTI segment and reaffirms its governmental policy respecting the right to choose your sexual orientation and gender identity.

Little by little the island is shaping up to be a destination for the community, where the first online travel agency specialized in tourist routes designed especially for the LGTBI+ collective is already working. The opening of the future Axel Hotel La Habana – Telégrafo marks a solid step forward in the evolution of the collective in Cuba.
