Frommer's "Built in 1836 and turned into a hotel in 1885, the Florida is stately and elegant, but be aware that a couple of the rooms don't have any windows." Full review
Lonely Planet "They don't make them like this anymore. The Florida is an architectural extravaganza built in the purest colonial style, with arches and pillars clustered around an atmospheric central courtyard." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Housed in a stately 19th-century mansion, Hotel Florida is one of Havana's best bargains."
Rough Guide "There’s a perfect blend of modern luxury and colonial elegance with marble floors, iron chandeliers, birds singing in the airy stone-columned central patio and potted plants throughout."
Fodor's "One of the top choices in Habana Vieja. Its simple room design, lovely architecture, and quality fixtures give it an edge over many of the district hotel picks." Full review

Lonely Planet "Meyer Lansky's magnificent Vegas-style palace has leapt back into fashion with its gloriously retro lobby almost unchanged since 1957 (when it was the height of modernity)." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A famous 1950s high-rise Hotel Habana Riviera overlooks the waterfront boulevard."
Rough Guide "Built by the mafia in the 1950s as a casino hotel, the Riviera retains much of that era’s style."
Fodor's "Although it's large, impersonal, and inefficient, the Riviera is home to El Palacio de la Salsa, one of Havana's best music venues." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The lobby, with its sharp modernist lines and Vegas-style ostentation, looks like a set from The Godfather: Part II, while the rooms are less striking." Full review
