Since 1930 it has attracted a large number of personalities from the arts, science and politics, such as Winston Churchill, Frank Sinatra, Ava Gardner, Johnny Weismuller, Naomi Campbell, Errol Flynn, and Alexander Fleming. The hotel has more than seventy years of history and is Cuba’s flagship hotel. It is a classic hotel in the grand 1930s style, mixing Art Deco features with modernist influences, and was opened on December 30th, 1930. Starting in 1992, it was completely refurbished, preserving all the splendor of its eclectic architecture. With its privileged location in the middle of Vedado, the center of Havana, it stands on a promontory just a few metres from the sea, and offers a great view of Havana Bay, the Malecón sea drive and the city.
