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).
