Meliá San Carlos is nestled in the oldest part of the two-hundred-year-old city of Cienfuegos. Operating as the city’s primary hotel since 1925, the property itself is a local landmark. Modern rooms are matched with the building’s original architecture, which features a stylish lobby and colorful facade, alongside a new internal courtyard.
Some of the city’s best restaurants are nearby, like Casa Prado and Restaurante Bahia. Parque José Martí is down the street and is the site of multiple attractions, such as Teatro Terry and Catedral de la Purísima Concepción. But even closer, you’ll find the Meliá’s rooftop garden – a local favorite for its unfettered views of Cienfuegos and the bay.
