Hotels - Versalles

About  Versalles

Hotel Versalles is, to the east of the city, surrounded by harmonious tranquility. Recommended for families and groups.
Hotel Versalles on a hilltop in the residential section of Versalles, on the southern outskirts of Santiago, was refurbished at the end of 2007. A major draw is the lovely views north and west over the city and bay, and it gets the breezes. It's also quite handsome.

The driveway curls up to a gracious glass-walled lobby with Modernist peaked roof and handsome furnishings, setting a welcome tone. And the contemporary style restaurant is an elegant spot and has tremendous views through a wall of glass decorated with stained-glass.

The 72 guest quarters are in motel-style one-story units and bi-level villas arrayed in a quadrangle around a huge swimming pool and sundeck with separate kid's pool. These units are of red-brick, with walls of glass and sliding glass doors opening broad shady balconies and patios. 

Interiors have terra-cotta tile floors, functional wooden furnishings, and modern bathrooms. Take an upper room for the raised ceilings. As with most tourist hotels, this one comes with satellite TV, phones, and refrigerators in all rooms, which are kept clean. And recently remodeled bathrooms have shower-tubs with modern fixtures.

Santa Rita a Hospital, Santiago de Cuba

Calle Padre Pico

This is undoubtedly one of the city's most well-known streets. It offers an excellent natural viewing point and is the only stepped street in Cuba. It's part of the Tivoli neighborhood, where 18th-century French-colonial mansions sit side by side with 16th-century structures

Calle Bartolomé Masó (San Basilio) y Calle Corona, Santiago de Cuba

Balcón de Velázquez

This ceramic-tiled terrace is all that remains of a fort once used by authorities to monitor boat traffic. It's a great place to linger while taking in views of both the city and the bay. Music shows and other events are often held here, particularly on weekend evenings.

Castillo San Pedro de la Roca, El Morro. Santiago de Cuba

Castillo del Morro

The Spanish fortress known as El Morro, south of Santiago, was constructed between 1638 and 1700 and was designed by Giovanni Antonelli, the Italian architect and engineer responsible for fortresses bearing the same name in both Havana and San Juan, Puerto Rico. El Morro was built to ward off pirates (and rebuilt after a 1662 attack by the English pirate Henry Morgan). Today, its solid walls house the Museum of Piracy, its rooms also reflects the main events connected with the naval battle of Santiago de Cuba, episode of the Spanish-Cuban-American in 1898 and photographs related to the events of Maine , the Spanish and U.S. military leaders, Admiral Pascual Cervera and Vice Admiral Sampson and planes and coastal defenses and batteries of El Morro. There are wonderful views from interior rooms, which have wooden floors and stone walls, as well as from various terraces.

Museum of the Clandestine Struggle

The museum of the Clandestine Struggle is located Padre Pico steps up. This excellent museum, in one of the city’s finest colonial houses, focuses on the activities of the resistance movement under local martyr Frank País. Residents of Santiago were instrumental in supporting the Revolution, as were peasants in the Sierra Maestra. From the museum’s balcony, there are tremendous views of Santiago and the bay.
