Among those fascinating hotels, it is worth mentioning the four-stars Hotel Florida, one of Havana's most historic places for been one of the first hotels ever built in San Cristobal de la Habana (full name of the Cuban capital)
Its most refinement site is the restaurant La Floridana with sixty capacities for dinner and ten benches at its bar. Besides that, the hotel comprises a lobby bar and a piano bar whose name, Maragato, pays homage to a famous barman.
It is a very quiet, colonial-times decorations place. It is full of large-size iron lamps and light-color armchairs. At its yard, guests use to seat for reading in the evenings or in the early mornings.
Apart from the comfort and other advantages of present times, history gives a special touch to this building located on the corner of Obispo and Cuba streets, having its main entrance in Obispo Street.
After it was abandoned and lost all its charm until it was repaired anew. People also say that some blocks away this place it used to be a very popular bar, as it was near the Hotel Florida's bar, people named the other bar the Floridita. And this is the origin of famous bar Floriditas name.
