Xanadu Mansion, also called Dupont House, is a historic hotel inside the Varadero Golf Club, overlooking the sea and course. The 1920s mansion was built as a residence for the DuPont family and has just four rooms, giving you a different kind of stay from Varadero’s all-inclusive resorts. Its restaurant serves à la carte meals, and the upstairs bar has sea views. Choose Xanadu for its old-world setting, dining and golf; room maintenance can be uneven.
A former DuPont residence
Xanadu Mansion, also known as Dupont House, was built in the 1920s as a residence for the DuPont family. Its marble floors and classical colonial architecture set it apart from the all-inclusive resorts around Varadero. The building is protected by Cuba’s Ministry of Culture.
The mansion has four rooms, so it is a small hotel by resort standards. Its historic character is the main draw, though room maintenance can be uneven.
Dining, golf and the upstairs bar
The mansion has an à la carte restaurant and a bar upstairs, where you can look out over the sea. A wine cellar tour and a chance to see the old organ are available for an additional fee.
Xanadu sits within Varadero Golf Club. One travel account states that breakfast, dinner and a round of golf are included in the room rate, but check what your own booking includes before you go.
