It is an eclectic building of the late 1920's erected just one block away from the Arm's Square, in the very heart of Old Havana's oldest sector. Besides its privileged location and lively ambience, the hotel takes pride in having hosted Ernest Hemingway, who found it "a good place to write", and thus wrote here (room 511) the first chapters of his novel "For whom the bell tolls", in the early 1930's. Not luxury, but a nice hotel, which has 52 rooms, restaurant, roof garden and a lobby bar that opens to the street, where a pianist plays.
