Owners and Operators

Was founded in 1867 by the marriage formed by Don Guillermo del Toro and Doña Pilar Somoano, grateful merchandisers from Havana.

The Hotel Telegrafo is operated by Habaguanex S.A., a company belonging to the Office of the Historian of The City of Havana.

Welcome to my site dedicated to the Hotel Telegrafo in Old Havana,, Cuba. I am "poco a poco" researching and updating it with the aim to provide as complete as possible record of the hotel's ancient and recent history; bearing in mind that the goings-on today may one day be of historical interest.

My site is NOT the official website of the current hotel operator, and is by no means endorsed by them; but I am grateful for their help with the research.

You can make from this site room reservations through the Bizloco eTravel System operated by, Cubaism Ltd.

Best wishes for 2019
