"Meyer Lansky's magnificent Vegas-style palace has leapt back into fashion with its gloriously retro lobby almost unchanged since 1957 (when it was the height of modernity)." Full review

"Built by the mafia in the 1950s as a casino hotel, the Riviera retains much of that era’s style."

"Although it's large, impersonal, and inefficient, the Riviera is home to El Palacio de la Salsa, one of Havana's best music venues." Full review

"Built in 1836 and turned into a hotel in 1885, the Florida is stately and elegant, but be aware that a couple of the rooms don't have any windows." Full review

Rough Guide Rough Guide
"There’s a perfect blend of modern luxury and colonial elegance with marble floors, iron chandeliers, birds singing in the airy stone-columned central patio and potted plants throughout."

"One of the top choices in Habana Vieja. Its simple room design, lovely architecture, and quality fixtures give it an edge over many of the district hotel picks." Full review
