Best Hotels in Camaguey

For a taste of Cuba that feels distinct from Havana or Trinidad, head to Camagüey. This is a city of winding alleys and large, irregular plazas, a layout designed centuries ago to confuse pirates. The main draw is getting lost in that maze, stumbling upon the massive Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Merced or the working pottery studios around Plaza del Carmen. Life here revolves around these public squares, where you'll find locals chatting on benches and artists selling their work.

The city is ideal for curious, independent travelers comfortable with a slower pace. Most visitors stay in the historic center to be within walking distance of sites like the Catedral de Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria. It's less suited for those seeking beach resorts or a heavy nightlife scene. Getting here is straightforward via Ignacio Agramonte International Airport, or by bus or train from other major Cuban cities.

On HOTEVI, you'll find around ten accommodation options in Camagüey. The selection is dominated by charming, family-run *casas particulares* and a handful of mid-range, government-operated hotels, offering an authentic stay right in the heart of the city's unique urban landscape.
