Hotel-Boutique Malecon 663 is a four-storey boutique hotel on Havana’s Malecón, with a rooftop bar overlooking the sea. Come for sunset drinks, live music and a view across the water; the building also has a café, restaurants, guest rooms and a shop. Art and unusual design details run through the interior, from image-covered chairs to a vertical garden of plastic poppies. The rooftop is a popular spot, so reserve ahead if you want a table at sunset.
A rooftop above the Malecón
Malecon 663 brings several spaces together in a boutique hotel on Havana’s oceanfront promenade. Its multi-level rooftop lounge looks out over the sea, with white rails that recall a ship’s deck. Around sunset, cocktails and live music make the terrace a natural place to linger. DJs sometimes play sets at this time, with a livelier party atmosphere on weekends.
The rooftop is popular, so plan ahead if you have a particular time in mind. The hotel website provides a WhatsApp contact for reservations. An entrance fee has been reported at certain times, though no consistent fee or schedule is available here.
Art and design throughout the hotel
The building’s character comes from its mix of local art, recycled materials and retro details. Creative touches include chairs upholstered with photographic images and a vertical garden made from plastic poppies. There is also a café and bar on the ground floor, alongside restaurants and a concept shop.
The hotel has four guest rooms, each designed in a different style: retro eclectic, art deco, vintage 1950s and contemporary. The shop sells artisanal soaps and one-off jewellery. Even a brief visit for a drink gives you a chance to see some of the design that runs through the property.
Drinks, seafood and sharing plates
The rooftop restaurant serves seafood and tapas, while bars in the hotel make drinks the main draw for a sunset stop. Food availability can vary, so keep another choice in mind if a particular menu item is not available. Portions are described as generous; sharing dishes can suit a group.
There is also a café downstairs for coffee and light bites. The menus have been noted for their unusual presentation, including menus printed on old vinyl records. No current menu or reliable prices are provided here, so check directly with the hotel before you go.
