Old Havana hotels are considered by many as the most charming hotels in Cuba. Having superior accommodation facilities, plenty of intimacy, beauty, and first-class services, these hotels have charmed each and every traveller that ever stayed on their premises.
Among those eye-catching hotels, Hotel Florida – one of Havana’s most remarkable properties – stands out for being one of the first hotels ever built in Havana after Cuba?s tourist industry started developing in the early 1990′s.
Its most elegant space is the restaurant La Floridana with sixty capacities for dinner and ten benches at its bar. Its Piano bar located opposite to the restaurant is probably the nicest place to spend a night listening to traditional Cuban music and dancing to the beat of the Afro Cuban rhythms.
This hotel is also a favourite place for businessmen meetings, wine tasting, and presentations of products. It is remarkable its stained-glass window at the upper part, second in size because the largest one decorates the ceiling of the hotel’s main staircase.
According to some sources, it is believed that this hotel was built in 1836 and it was the residence of remarkable businessmen of that time. Among them, it can be mentioned the count of San Ignacio as well as the wealthy and paramount Spanish count Jose Eugenio Mor.
This magnificent palace became home to some important economic institutions in the early 50?s. After the triumph of the revolution in 1959 it was nationalized and through almost 40 years of constant deterioration the Cuban government decided to refurbish the building and transform it into one of the best hotels in Havana.
Hotel Florida is a magical, perfect resting place. It is equipped for welcoming the most discerning visitor looking for the real Cuban feast that also means travelling, meditating, and having a good accommodation. This hotel could be just what you need for your holidays in Havana.
