Luxury DMC based in Havana, Cuba
“Havana captivates and surprises you at every corner, with dinner on our first night we entered into an amazing building which like so many grand buildings in Havana has become a tenement with many families living downstairs. As you climb the grand marble staircase, a washing line is in full view, but keep climbing and you’ll find La Guarida rooftop. Here we dined whilst listening to one of Cuba’s most important contemporary Jazz bands. Or a visit to Fabrica De Arte Cubano, an art gallery, art installation & nightclub – something I would’ve expected in New York or Paris but not Havana.”
