The exceptional Hotel Havana is a gem nestled on the quiet stretch of San Antonio's River Walk known as the Museum Reach. The hotel's rich Spanish Colonial history, combined with glorious Mediterranean Revival architecture, makes it one of the most authentic lodging experiences in San Antonio. Originally opened by Edward Franz Melcher with the aim to replicate the tropical allure of its Caribbean namesake, Havana, the 4-star Havana still reflects its San Antonio roots while celebrating its Cuban character.
Hotel Havana boasts an idyllic location, being minutes away from the redeveloped Pearl district, The Alamo, and the Southwest School of Art. Additionally, it is conveniently located next to the new Tobin Center for Performing Arts. The rich convergence of Native American, Mexican, and Spanish cultures in the local neighborhood provides countless narratives and worlds to discover. Reaching Havana entails a 2 km journey from the Southern Pacific Passenger station, whilst the San Antonio International airport is a smooth 20 km away. Needless to say, getting around becomes as delightful as staying here. Revel in the elegance and history of the splendid Hotel Havana and experience San Antonio hospitality at its finest!

Hotel Havana San Antonio hosts Ocho, the on-site glass-enclosed restaurant situated along the River Walk. The panoramic, sun-soaked views can be admired from the second-floor courtyard patio and each of the floor's front balconies. Ocho offers a menu rooted in pan-Latin cultural influences from Mexico, Cuba, and Texas, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks in an impeccable setting. As the sun sets, retreat to the Havana Bar, a dimly candlelit sanctuary perfect for intimate meetings and secret rendezvous. The cocktail menu here perfectly embodies the hotel's dual identity: the tequila of the hotel's San Antonio roots is highlighted alongside the rum of its Cuban namesake. Frequent patrons can attest to their love for old-school recipes, or simply the satisfaction found in an ice-cold Michelada after a long day.
