Hotel Habana Riviera by Iberostar

Cuba / Ciudad de la Habana / Havanna / Paseo y Malecón
Built by the American gangster Meyer Lansky, the Riviera opened December 10, 1957 -- just in time to be nationalized by the revolution that followed. The original 1957 interiors remain largely untouched, perhaps the best example of mid-century modern resort hotel design left in the world.

  • The Casino was under the dome
  • This place is truly a time capsule. Want to know what a fancy hotel looked like in the 1960s? A visit here will immerse you hotel couture of the early 60s, Even the band & the furniture in the lobby looked original.
