The Hotel Armadores de Santander was restored and is run by the Office

of the City Historian of Havana, so all its profits are reinvested in

the restoration of the city?s historical centre. Anyone keen on maritime

history and the comings and goings of ships will love it. From early

morning until late at night boats pass to and fro in front of the hotel

and the views of the twinkling harbour lights in the evening, and the

rising sun gleaming on the smooth water before the morning breeze gets

up, are impossibly romantic.
