Hotel E El Marqués  

In Camagüey’s UNESCO-listed historic core, a petite historic boutique hotel sits on a quiet street just off the city’s cultural pulse. About 100 m from the Cathedral and Park Agramonte and within easy walking distance of theaters, museums, restaurants and art galleries.

Built in 1920 and recently renovated, El Marqués shows off eclectic architecture, high ceilings and classic furniture dressed in blue-and-cream fabrics. The property has six intimate rooms (five with three-quarter beds and one double). Rooms include air conditioning, hairdryer, mini bar (extra charge), satellite TV and an in-room safe. Corridors of tile floors and marble pedestals topped with statues by sculptor Martha Jiménez add to the historic, intimate vibe.

Stand-out perks include a 6-person Jacuzzi in the adjacent courtyard, 24-hour bar service, an on-site restaurant, and breakfast and snack service. Practical touches include an elevator and press service, plus English-speaking staff. Sip cocktails in the shaded courtyard while you map out the nearby galleries and theaters.

The hotel bar serves cocktails around the clock and prepares drinks to enjoy in the courtyard hot tub area. An on-site restaurant offers breakfasts and light snacks to fuel your days exploring Camagüey.
