The National Hotel , distinguished and elegant , remarkable for its history and its excellent location . The eight-story building of Spanish style , is situated on top of a hill overlooking the Malecon , so guests can enjoy panoramic views of Old Havana and Vedado . Formerly this site was used by the pirates as a landing place and during the British occupation of Havana served as strong . Currently , the majestic gardens surrounding the hotel are a formidable and welcoming retreat after a day exploring the centers of interest of the city, or just a great place to enjoy a drink and a sweeping view of the Caribbean . A uniformed doorman welcomes guests at the entrance of the large lobby , which immediately struck by the aristocratic and luxurious atmosphere of the place ( an eclectic combination of Moorish tiles , lamps and Elizabethan beam ceilings , reminiscent of a medieval church and which could help understand why the renowned Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier once referred to this building as a " haunted castle " ) . The lobby is often teeming with visitors and tour groups , like the busy bar just behind the doors that open onto the gardens. Thus, one ends up having the feeling that this hotel never sleeps. The hotel has six bars and a famous cabaret . At the same time, the hotel is the setting for live performances are aquatic spectacles and even sporadic fashion . Not to mention the International Festival of New Latin American Cinema , which every December installs its press room at the hotel , where you can meet with Cuban personalities of culture and art, or with another Hollywood star.
