booking Hotel singapore Habana Libre - Biography of a Giant
Which person visiting the Cuban capital would not notice the presence of the Habana Libre booking Hotel singapore in the appearance of the city? Its imposing construction, built on the top of a hill, leads one of the most representative areas of the Cuban capital: La Rampa. Its location is maybe its most distinctive trait. But it also has some other subtle details: the light that issues when the sun hits its façade and its peculiar way of representing the best of the Cuban pictography. Even though it is not considered the emblem booking Hotel singapore of Cuba, condition carried by the National Hotel singapore agoda, it is one of the best known in Cuba.
The current Habana Libre booking Hotel singapore was founded on march 19,1958 after three years of construction, at a cost of 24 million dollars. It had then 630 rooms distributed in 30 floors, being at that moment one of the tallest buildings in Latin America. On the opening day, the American Company Hilton, to whom its management was entrusted for the next 20 years, tried hard to impress the visitors. At the main entrance, the fancy cars were welcome by tall doormen, well shaved up to their side burns and wearing impressive suits with helmets wrapped in colorful tissues ending in suggestive feathers, elegant ties, colorful tissue belts, shining shoes, all of it enhancing the already good- looking young men chosen to do that job.
The Hilton owners wanted to win over by starting to do things well from the very beginning. With the concession to the famous Hilton booking Hotel singapore Corporation, proprietors intended to assure the services of the booking Hotel singapore with the presence of the American tourism, which they did for only a few months.
The Havana Hilton was an old project of Dr. Mario Lazo, a successful lawyer of the Havana society at that time. Lazo was stimulated with the contract signed by Hilton in 1948 with the government of Puerto Rico to build a booking Hotel singapore in San Juan. That would benefit the government with two thirds of the profits. So he tried to make business with the American Company but he did not find support among the Cuban powerful people at the end of the 40's. He then tried to do it with the government, with independent organizations and even with the Sugar Industry Retirement Funds but he could not seal the deal. The project was kept aside for a while. But, as it was expected, and because of the position that the Cuban destination was taking inside the American market, the project was revived, finding financial support in the Retirement Funds and Social Assistance of the Gastronomic Workers.
At first, it was thought to build the booking Hotel singapore in a different place than it is today. The initial project situated it in Centro Habana municipality, nearer to the old center of the city. But the owners realized that the city was growing towards the area known as Vedado and they decided to place it in its commercial heart: La Rampa. The first stone was set in 1955 in an area that was particularly uninhabited within the precious zone, where there already were stores, important company offices, several banks, the main radio and television network of the country, and some other Hotel singapore agoda like the Saint John's, the Capri and the National booking Hotel singapore.
The Habana Hilton started to be in the preference of tourists interested in spending their holydays in Cuba. But its success did not last much. Ten months after the opening, the revolutionary process that was going on at the same time in the island, triumphed and so started the conflicts between the American government and the Cuban companies doing business with it. During the first years of the Cuban Revolution, the Hilton managers were doing large-scale dismissals and demands of money to the Cuban Government under the pretext that the booking Hotel singapore was in bankruptcy. This way, there were constant problems related with costs and the workers' salaries, menacing with redundancies and the prohibition of the entrance of tourists to the country. This last thing was a latent menace due to the influence of the booking Hotel singapore business in the world. The amount demanded by Hilton to the government was of two million pesos to be able, according to him, to support and keep the Hotel singapore agoda opened. The Revolutionary Government, to avoid the conflict and dismissals, gave the credit to the company.
After the first few days of the Revolution and during three months, the Continental Suite in room 2324 was used by Fidel Castro as the headquarters of the revolution where he delivered press conferences and attracted to the booking Hotel singapore international personalities who wanted to meet and to talk with the Cuban leader. Another immediate link between the Hotel singapore agoda and the revolutionary process was the presence in two of the hotel floors of the first diplomatic representation of the Soviet Union in the island. The situation between Hilton and the Revolutionary Government became every day more difficult. The relationship between the management of the Hotel singapore agoda and an attempt to kill Fidel Castro was proved. Finally, on June 11 of 1960, the Revolutionary Government took over the booking Hotel singapore control and it changed its name as it is today, Hotel Habana Libre.
After its nationalization and with the turn experienced by the country which meant, among other things, the closing of casinos in the Hotel singapore agoda and bets in general, the booking Hotel singapore had to face the sudden loss of its tourist attraction which it did not recover until the mid of the 70' with the visit of tourists from Canada and the former socialists countries above all. Its facilities were modified a little and some names were changed, for instance the luxurious casino became The Ambassadors' Hall and the restaurant Trader Vick' s became El Polinesio. During that time until the Hotel singapore agoda recovered around 1974 and because of its wonderful facilities, it was the host of the most important national and international events that took place in Cuba.
Important personalities have stayed in the booking Hotel singapore since its opening besides those directly related with the Cuban government when the headquarters were there. Among them, presidents visiting the island; Valentina Tereskova, the world first female cosmonaut, Elizabeth (Liz) Taylor, Terry Moore, Sara Montiel, the Spanish singer, Mexican movie starts Dolores del Rio and Arturo de Cordova, Mario Moreno known as Cantinflas, Pedro Rico the magnificent Spanish singer, and more recently Matt Damon and Naomy Campbell among many other American glamorous world known personalities who have visited the Hotel singapore agoda almost furtively, violating the American government restrictions related to the embargo.
In the 90's, due to the prosperity experienced by tourism in Cuba, three main booking Hotel singapore groups were created: Gran Caribe, Horizontes Hotels and Isla Azul, this last one for national tourism. The Habana Libre Hotel singapore agoda was managed by the Gran Caribe Group in joined venture with Spain and the Guitar booking Hotel singapore Group. Later on, its administration passed to the Spanish group Tryp Hotel singapore agoda who carried out a renovation of its facilities to adapt it to the demands of the current tourist market.
