Frommer's
"This restored hotel is actually over a century old, yet it has the boldest and most contemporary architecture and post-modern interior design in town." Full review

"This bold royal-blue Habaguanex beauty on the northwest corner of Parque Central juxtaposes old-style architectural features (the original building hails from 1888) with futuristic design flourishes." Full review
Rough Guide
"Built from the shell of a nineteenth-century hotel, this fine four-star is actually mostly a modern construction, incorporating some of the building’s original features."

"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
