Best Hotels with Pools in Havana
4 family-friendly hotels with swimming pool in Havana . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Hotels with pools in Havana give families a way to cool off between visits to Old Havana's plazas and museums, and four properties on this page confirm the amenity, led by Hotel Nacional de Cuba's two separate outdoor pools. Star ratings run five across the board here, with review counts stretching from VOYA Boutique Hotel's 189 to Hotel Nacional de Cuba's 4,905, giving families a wide spread of prior traveler feedback to weigh. Three of the four also pair the pool with a hot tub or rooftop setting, and all four keep air conditioning and an on-site restaurant as standard. Airport transfers range from 24 to 35 minutes by taxi, worth checking against a family's flight time before booking.
Havana's heat makes a hotel pool less of a bonus and more of a daily necessity, especially for a family walking the Malecón or Old Havana's plazas at midday. The city's grandest properties, including the 1930s-era Hotel Nacional de Cuba, built pools into their original design rather than adding them later, which shows in the scale of the two-pool layout there. Rooftop settings, like the one at Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski La Habana, take advantage of Havana's low-rise skyline for open views that a ground-floor pool in a denser city wouldn't offer.

🏊Why Havana is Great for Hotels with Swimming Pool
All four hotels pair their pool with an on-site restaurant and breakfast service, cutting the need to leave the property for every meal during pool days with kids. Hotel Nacional de Cuba goes furthest with three restaurants and three bars alongside its two pools, useful for a family that wants variety without booking a taxi each evening. Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski La Habana and Hotel Grand Packard both add room service and free parking, while VOYA Boutique Hotel includes an airport shuttle at the shortest transfer time of the group, 24 minutes. Business centers at Hotel Nacional de Cuba and Hotel Grand Packard also suit a parent working part of the trip around pool days.
Hotel Nacional de Cuba's two separate outdoor pools give a family room to split by age or energy level without sharing one pool between toddlers and teenagers. Hotel Grand Packard and VOYA Boutique Hotel both add a hot tub next to the pool, a better fit for older kids and adults than for young children. Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski La Habana's rooftop pool suits tweens and teens who want a view along with the swim, six minutes' walk from the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes for a museum stop before or after. None of the four confirm a shallow end or dedicated kids' pool area, so parents of younger swimmers should ask directly.
Hotel Nacional de Cuba's 4,905 reviews dwarf the other three, a meaningful trust signal for a family choosing a pool-focused stay sight unseen. Hotel Grand Packard's 9.4 rating is the highest of the group, with 2,235 reviews behind it and a fitness center and business center layered on top of the pool and hot tub. VOYA Boutique Hotel, at 189 reviews, is the newest and smallest name here but matches the others on star rating while offering the shortest airport transfer. Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski La Habana sits in between on review volume, its rooftop pool and spa combination pitched more toward a boutique-resort feel than Hotel Nacional de Cuba's grander scale.
Parent's take
At Hotel Nacional de Cuba, a family can send half the group to one outdoor pool while a napping baby stays in the room with a monitor, then trade places after the eight-minute walk back from the National Capitol of Cuba. Hotel Grand Packard's hot tub next to its outdoor pool, with bay views included, works as an easy way to end a day that started with the seven-minute walk to the Museo de la Revolución.
