The independent luxury boutique hotel has completed a major phase of development that expands accommodations, introduces a new café, and strengthens sustainable operations in Havana.
NEW YORK – VOYA Boutique Hotel has announced the completion of a significant new phase of development marked by the expansion of its accommodations to 17 individually designed rooms and suites, the official opening of VOYA Cafe, and the completion of a fully integrated solar energy system that now powers the hotel’s operations. The investment represents the latest milestone for the privately owned luxury boutique hotel in Havana, reinforcing its long-term commitment to personalized hospitality, heritage preservation, and sustainable operations.
Located in the residential heritage neighborhood of Santos Suarez, VOYA Boutique Hotel occupies a restored 1925 mansion that opened as a boutique hotel in 2022. Since its opening, the property has established itself as an independent hospitality destination that combines restored Cuban architecture with contemporary design and guest-focused service. The latest expansion reflects the hotel’s continued evolution while preserving the character of the historic building.
The expansion increases the hotel’s capacity to 17 rooms and suites, each individually designed to complement the property’s architectural heritage while incorporating modern amenities. The additional accommodations support growing demand for boutique hospitality experiences that emphasize privacy, personalized service, and locally inspired design.
As part of the development, VOYA Cafe has officially opened as a new addition to the property. Designed as a contemporary café, it serves premium coffee, artisanal pastries, and light cuisine in an environment intended to welcome both hotel guests and Havana residents. The café complements the hotel’s existing dining offerings, which include Brasserie 255, serving contemporary Cuban and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, while further expanding the property’s hospitality experience.
The project also includes the completion of a 100% solar-powered energy system supported by substantial battery storage. The installation enables the hotel to maintain dependable guest comfort while significantly reducing reliance on Cuba’s public electricity grid. Essential services, including air conditioning, lighting, hot water, and internet connectivity, continue to operate through the renewable energy infrastructure, supporting both operational continuity and environmental responsibility.
“The completion of this phase represents an important milestone for VOYA Boutique Hotel,” said Jorgedian Dihigo Caro, founder of VOYA Boutique Hotel. “From expanding our accommodations to opening VOYA Cafe and completing our renewable energy infrastructure, every investment has been guided by the goal of creating a dependable and thoughtfully designed hospitality experience while respecting the heritage of Havana.”
VOYA Boutique Hotel continues to operate under its “Explore & Retreat” philosophy, encouraging guests to experience Havana’s cultural, historical, and architectural attractions before returning to a calm and private environment. The property’s location in Santos Suarez offers visitors access to a residential district known for its historic homes while remaining within convenient reach of Old Havana and other major destinations.
Beyond accommodations, the hotel provides concierge and itinerary-planning services designed to support every stage of a guest’s visit. VOYA can coordinate international credit-card payments, airport transfers, private drivers, classic-car experiences, specialist guides, restaurant reservations, and tailored excursions throughout Havana and other parts of Cuba. The integrated approach allows visitors to organize their travel experience through a single point of contact while focusing on cultural exploration and personalized itineraries.
The latest development also reflects continued private investment in Havana’s hospitality sector through the restoration and adaptive reuse of historic architecture. By preserving the original character of the 1925 mansion while integrating contemporary infrastructure and renewable energy systems, the project demonstrates an approach that balances heritage conservation with modern hospitality operations.
“Our vision has always been to create an independent luxury boutique hotel that reflects Havana’s identity while providing the reliability and personalized service expected by today’s international travelers,” Dihigo Caro added. “This expansion strengthens that vision and represents our continued confidence in Havana as a destination for thoughtful, high-quality hospitality.”
The completion of the expansion positions VOYA Boutique Hotel for its next stage of growth while maintaining its focus on individualized guest experiences, architectural preservation, and sustainable operations. Together, the enlarged accommodations, new café, and renewable energy infrastructure establish a foundation for the property’s continued development as an independent luxury boutique hotel in Havana.
