History

  • THE BUILDING

The building was established in the early eighteenth century, as the palatial home of Spanish Count, Don Lorenzo Ruiz de Alarcon y Montalvo Montalvo (1704 - 1778).

In recent times the structure has undergone an extensive restoration.

The inauguration of the new building was attended by President Fidel Castro. The body of Count Don Lorenzo lies in the Havana Cathedral.

 

  • THE ORDER 

The Order of the Blessed Savior was founded by Saint Brigida de Svezia in 1370 and re-founded by Saint Mary Isabel Hessalblad on the 8th September 1911.

The Order's ecumenical, spiritual and missionary works go hand in hand with the daily Adoration of The Blessed Sacrament and also with the ministry of hospitality.

In Cuba, much of the sister's work revolves around the elderly, young people, the sick and the poor and the ministry of hospitality. 

Grounds & Gardens

The convent guest house is close to the beach and to museums, theatres, the planetarium, the Cámara Obscura (invented by Leonardo da Vinci), a rum factory, The Capitol, the House of Chocolate, the El Camino de Malecon (Ocean Road), the Cannon (the Cannon ceremony takes place every evening at Castillo de San Carlos de la Cabana), the Cathedral of San Cristobal, and the (in)famous Bar Bodeguita in Revolution Square.

The former home of writer Ernest Hemingway can be reached by taxi (20 mins).

The convent is perfectly situated in Old Havana and walking distance of all places of interest in Old, New and Central Havana. The convent itself is a beautiful building with large clean rooms, inside gardens and calming atmosphere. The sisters are very helpful and friendly and go out of their way to help you. Without reservation we would recommend a stay at the convent. Source - TripAdvisor

A quiet oasis in the middle of bustling Habana Vieja. Comfortable rooms,friendly staff, and beautiful surroundings. We could hear the sisters singing every morning on their way to prayers. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Source - TripAdvisor

A great spot in the heart of Old Havana. We spent four nights as a group. Clean rooms, good hosts, secure entrance, helpful staff at the front desk, and a good breakfast each morning. Would definitely stay here again! Source - TripAdvisor
