The Bar/Lounge at Hotel Inglaterra

"Inaugurated in 1875, this is Cuba's oldest hotel and there's much to admire here—photographs of old Havana, intricate Andalusian tiles, the shield of Spain's Catholic kings behind the bar"

"The rooftop bar is one of the few such perches to stay open relatively late (closed Sat), although the concrete balustrade obstructs the views when seated at your table"

"But, while the tiled Moorish lobby is still magnificent and the busy El Louvre bar out front a beehive of music and action, the Inglaterra remains a better place to hang out than stay"
