This 1920s hotel was frequented by Ernest Hemingway during the 1930s, while he wrote large portions of For Whom the Bell Tolls.
His room of choice, #511, is now a museum dedicated to the writer. Large black and white photographs of Hemingway adorn the hotel's lobby, and the rooftop restaurant serves a Hemingway Special (fish and rice).

Finca Vigía (English translation- Lookout Farm) is where Ernest Hemingway made his occasional home from 1939 to 1960. At this location, he wrote seven books, including The Old Man and the Sea, A Moveable Feast and Islands in the Stream.
Today, Finca Vigía is the home of the Cuban Museo Ernest Hemingway. The walls are covered with his hunting trophies and his books still line the shelves, and his fishing boat is outside.
