Hotel Tryp Habana Libre

The Hotel Tryp Habana Libre, one of Havana’s most emblematic hotels, was built in the 1950´s as the Havana Hilton under the personal auspices of President Fulgencio Batista and was Latin America's tallest and largest hotel.

After Fidel Castro entered Havana, on January 8, 1959, it became his headquarters for three months. Suite 2324 served as his central office. Over the next three decades the Habana Libre was a hub for revolutionaries and diplomats from all over the globe, their paths crossing in its elevators, hallways, and lobby.

The hotel’s 25-floor height offers the most incredible views of the city and the sea from its privileged position in the junction of the streets L and 23, one of the most vibrant corners of Havana, in the very heart of Vedado.

The large lobby with a glass dome features sitting areas of chairs and couches gathered in intimate and comfortable groups surrounding a fountain, with a 50´s retro feel bar in the back and photos of famous guests on the walls.

There’s a great swimming pool, large rooms offering stunning views (especially on the upper floors), and a variable of restaurants and bars to choose from. On the 25th floor is an impressive night club with a 360 degree panoramic view of the city and a retractable roof; entry is free for hotel guests.

Recommended for businessmen, events and holidays.
