WELCOMING

  • Arrival at the "José Martí" International Airport in Havana. Transfer directly from the airport by bus ,from arrival guests enjoy the city. Arrival at the Hotel Nh Capri. The Hotel Capri was inaugurated on November 27, 1957. The inauguration was attended by the very famous mafia man Santo Trafficante. It was operated by two other known gangsters: Nicolás Di Costanzo and Charles Turin. It was one of the largest casino hotels during the heyday of the Mafia in Havana in the 50s.
    The extraordinary location of the hotel in the heart of Vedado and its proximity to the capital's seawall makes it one of the favorites especially because it retains (like few ones) the classic style of the 50s. Upon arrival at the hotel we will transfer back to the time making a tour that we call Capri tour, in this tour we will tell you anecdotes and unique legends related to the gait of the actor and gangster George Raft, hired to be the public image of the hotel club during his gangster days in Cuba. We will visit the ancient casino of Capri place that had two ways to attract players, one was the presence of the famous American actor George Raft and the other was his famous Red Hall (Salon Rojo) cabaret where international stars such as Tony Martin and Liberace came to play. We will also visit the rooftop pool that can be seen in the first scenes of Carol Reed's movie "Our man in Havana" and the Russian film "I am Cuba." Before moving on to the rooms, we will invite you to lunch in what was the Suite of the well-known gangster Mayer Lansky, nowadays converted into the La Florentina Restaurant, specialized in Italian food. Rest time at the hotel. Free night.

    Note: According to the time of arrival at the hotel we would do Capri Tour and dinner at the Florentina at night

    Its most significant emblems are two sculptures, made by renowned artists: "Dancer" (Rita Longa, 1950) and "The Fountain of the Muses" (Aldo Gamba, 1952). The shows have taken elements of dance (classical and folk) , of music, circus art and plastic to form an own and subjugating style.
