Stroll along the area's main pedestrian artery Calle Obispo to ogle brightly coloured 50’s Cadillacs and meet friendly locals selling hand-made Cuban cigars, before ordering a mojito at Hemingway’s favourite bar, El Floridita, just a stone’s throw from the hotel.

On return to the hotel, peruse the public areas dotted with pieces by contemporary Cuban artists, including iconic Havana images by Claudia Corrales, whose grandfather Raúl Corrales Fornos was one of Fidel Castro’s official photographers.
