The Florida Hotel, in Havana's historic heart, was turned into a hotel in 1885, combining European and US comfort. It is on Obispo St., a pedestrian street lined with art galleries and museum, an additional attraction that highlights the establishment's options, including easy access to such sites as the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi, the Car Museum, the museums of Archeology and Science, and the House of Cigars. The Florida Hotel is characterized by its silent atmosphere and colonial-style decoration consisting of iron lamps, light-colored furniture and a cozy patio. |
