Hotel El Comendador, In the very historic heart of Havana. Exceptional for its intimacy and the silence provided by the atmosphere of its inner halls, "El Comendador" is an excellent hotel for retirement and meditation. Its sober furniture includes very simple Renaissance-style elements and some original pieces from Cuba's patrimony, which are combined to meet the needs for modern comfort of the most demanding customers. The inn, which has a strong Mudejar influence, with its main entrance in one of the corners of the building, is very close to one of the most significant plazas in Old Havana, the Square of Saint Francis of Assisi. Guests can enjoy the sea breeze coming from the Havana Harbor, which can be seen from the balconies of the magnificent rooms of the hotel. The building, which belonged to the family of Don Pedro Regalado Pedroso y Zayas, "Commander of the Order of Isabel the Catholic", during the 19th century, was built in the 18th and 19th centuries and underwent many changes until 1864, when the mezzanine was added and took a look similar to the one it has today.

There are two types of standard room at the Hotel Comendador – high ceilinged ones on the upper floor and lower ceilinged ones on the mezzanine. The high ceilinged ones are very attractive – as we mention in our introduction, Room 14 has a particularly good view over the ‘Garden of Diana, Princess of Wales’ to the harbour – with ‘Havana blue’ ceilings, attractive Colonial style furniture, old prints on the walls and baths with lion’s claw feet. The mezzanine rooms, although less spacious in terms of ceiling height, are also delightful with their decorative iron beds and little casement windows within larger shutters opening to the street, and similarly decorated bathrooms. Many clients favour the mezzanine rooms as being cosier and more welcoming than the grander option upstairs.
There is not an awful lot of difference between the high-ceilinged standard rooms at the Comendador and the hotel’s 3 junior suites. The latter are the same as regards basic characteristics but have the additional advantage of a small ante-room for visitors. The seating is exceedingly formal in style, though: lounging about seems inappropriate in these straight-backed Castillian-style chairs. One almost feels one should be clad in doublet and hose or ruffs and farthingales to sit on them.
