AccorHotels announces plans to further expand its presence and options for travellers in the Americas with the introduction of SO/ Havana Paseo del Prado, a new address set to open in early 2020 in Havana, Cuba.

As the first SO/ property in the Americas region, the hotel will showcase the brand's rebellious, immersive interpretation on the luxury travel experience. SO/ Havana Paseo del Prado will be located at the intersection of Paseo de Marti and Malecón, in the heart of one of the most emblematic neighborhoods of Cuba's capital.

With 10 stories above street level on a 5,000 square-meter parcel, SO/ Havana Paseo del Prado will feature 250 guest rooms, including 36 suites. Ranging in size from 34 to 64 square meters, guest rooms will consist of stylish contemporary furnishings, neutral palettes, splashes of color, innovative technology and thoughtful designer amenities.

The hotel will offer five food & beverage outlets including a specialty restaurant and rooftop bar on the ninth floor, an exclusive chocolate café bar, a lively lobby lounge and bar, and an all-day signature dining restaurant. Additional hotel features include three interior meeting rooms spanning approximately 200 square meters; a 400 square-meter SO/ SPA with six treatment rooms; a 150 square-meter SO/ FIT fitness center; and a 155 square-meter swimming pool with an adjacent pool bar. The hotel will also feature additional signature elements of the SO/ lifestyle such as the Just Say SO service and SO Parties, featuring the hottest DJs and artists.

In partnership with AccorHotels, SO/ Havana Paseo del Prado is part of Grupo de Turismo Gaviota, a Havana-based tourism and hospitality company boasting three decades of experience in the industry with over 85 hotels, representing more than 30,400 rooms throughout Cuba.

SO/ hotels are vibrant and highly sought-after destinations for trendy and discerning travelers. In addition to SO/ Havana Paseo del Prado, the brand will soon unveil hotels in dynamic and desirable locations including Auckland (November 2018), Kuala Lumpur (2020), Samui (2020) and Jakarta (2021). These additions will expand an eclectic SO/ portfolio which already includes two stunning SO/ properties in Thailand, Bangkok & Hua Hin, SO/ Mauritius, SO/ Singapore and the recently opened properties including SO/ Berlin Das Stue, SO/ Vienna and SO/ St. Petersburg.
