A prestigious symbol of the Havana! Its beauty, its caribbean captivation, its cozy atmosphere make this into the most desired hotel by visitors of all walks of life: poets, dancers, painters, actors, authors, artists, ambassadors, officials, presidents and other famous world figures.

Strategically located in front of the breath-taking Caribbean Sea, with its romantic Malecon and in the heart of the capital in Vedado, the Gran Caribe Riviera offers an atmosphere that appeals to everyone. Whether you want to take a romantic walk on the Malecon, go shopping in the street markets, see all the historical sights or walk the streets of Havana, they are all easily accessible within 5 minutes from this awesome hotel. Its architecture portrays an eastern flare of rare exoticism and novelty. A brilliant design with an eclectic atmosphere and a Lobby that fascinates even the well-traveled visitor.

In its early years, this charming hotel had fascinated many famous celebrities, who had booked and/or performed in it, such as Ginger Rogers, Diva Jean Fenn and comedians Abbot and Costello. And, since then the Gran Caribe Riviera has stood the test of time and maintained its many refinements. Sculptures by artist Florencio Gelabert, suggestive and valuable wood works and other artistic jewels reinforce the building's seductive flavor.

Although Havana offers many magnificent hotels, we have selected the Gran Caribe Riviera because of its strategic location (within walking distance to almost everything that Havana offers) and because of all the services and features it offers (see below).

The Las Cuevas Hotel is located in the village of Santísima Trinidad (Holy Trinity), in central Cuba and is a part of the beautiful coastal landscape which stretches between the Caribbean Sea and the Escambray Mountain Range. This charming establishment is very close to the historic heart of the city and was named after a group of grottos located on the hill on which it was built more than four decades ago. These grottos are visited by many tourists and are a part of Trinidad's many tourist attractions.
