Hotel Encanto Plaza, built in 1843, is a cultural and architectural icon in the historic center of Sancti Spíritus city. While the hotel has been updated for modern travelers, it maintains its colonial style; art exhibits provide added cultural value. Centrally-located only one block from Parque Serafín Sánchez, this is an ideal location for strolling around the friendly streets of this 500-year old town. Other interesting sights within reach include the Plaza Honorato, the church Nuestra Senora de la Caridad, Casa de la Trova, and the medieval looking Yayabo Bridge.
