Hotel Riviera
Description:
The Habana Riviera is a
prestigious symbol of Havana, and its cozy environment has made it a center of
attraction for poets, dancers, painters, actors, Nobel-prize winners, writers,
artists of all kinds, ambassadors, officials, presidents and famous world
figures, all looking
for the style of the '50s and the comfort of the year 2000. Its
architecture is typical of the Caribbean's big hotels of the past.
Throughout the years, the Habana Riviera has been able to maintain its aura of refinement. Sculptures by artist Florencio Gelabert and suggestive wooden works and other artistic jewels reinforce the building's seductive aura. This hotel has fascinated every major figure who has booked a room or performed in it. The latter include dancer Ginger Rogers, diva Jean Fenn and the comedy team of Abbot and Costello. The Havana Riviera has recently re-opened the Copa Room cabaret.
