Hotel Ambos Mundos Old Havana, Havana, Cuba
Address: Calle Obispo No. 153 esq. a Mercaderes, Old Havana, Havana, Cuba
It is now a popular tourist destination for those fans of the writer Ernest Hemingway who lived here for seven years in the 1930s. Since colonial times, the zone of Old Havana in which the building is now sited was popular with rich merchants and as such is testament to the glorious architecture surrounding the Hotel. At the beginning of the 20th century the Spanish retailer Antolin Blanco Arias bought a family house on the site, from his office colleague Manuel Llerandi y Tome. The new owner demolished the old house and used the architect Luis Wise Hernandez to construct the hotel Ambos Mundos.
