Follow Jay Chou and stay at the same Kempinski hotel in Havana.

"I love this country deeply, it feels like home; a place that feels like home, except for his birthplace, is the place where his destiny lies" Hemingway once described Cuba, and I finally had the opportunity to set foot in this long-awaited country. On the streets of the capital Havana, there are all kinds of classic cars running around. With old houses as the background, every shot is like a painting from the 1970s and 1980s. The air is filled with the smell of car exhaust and cigars, and the sound of Cuban music fills my ears. Passing through the Central Park where classic cars gather, I arrived at the Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski la Habana, where I will be staying on this trip. The hotel is located in the Manzana building, which was the first shopping mall in Cuba. It is also surrounded by the Havana Grand Theatre, the National Museum of Fine Arts, and the landmark of Havana - the Capitol Building. It is also worth mentioning that the El Floridita bar, where Hemingway once stayed, is located downstairs from the hotel. Built in 1894, the Manzana building was originally a European-style commercial complex. After renovation in 2017, part of it became the Kempinski Hotel, and the remaining part is one of the most fashionable shopping areas in Havana. There are two diagonal streets inside the building that connect to the outside, seamlessly integrating the pedestrian flow with the surrounding city. Walking through the corridor and entering the hotel lobby, the modern decoration style and the classical exterior are somewhat conflicting. This is not the first time I have stayed at a Kempinski hotel overseas. The attentive service and thoughtful preparation are also extended to this hotel in Cuba. After a quick and professional check-in, the staff escorted us back to our room and gave us a detailed introduction. The main design is modern European style, not only chic, but also very comfortable overall. A huge carved floor mirror, which is the dream bedroom configuration for many girls, is also available in the room. There is also a Bose sound system. When playing Cuban music, I really want to dance a rumba. The bathroom space is very large, with double sinks and a dry and wet separation design, fully meeting the needs of a family's stay. Pushing open the 4-meter-high balcony door, you can take in the old city streetscape of Cuba. The most beautiful part of the hotel is the rooftop terrace bar. Not only is there an infinity pool overlooking the old city, but there is also a super beautiful floor-to-ceiling window viewing area, where you can take a photo with the Capitol Building. When Jay Chou and his team were filming "Mojito", they also stayed at this hotel and took a photo at this location. It is recommended to arrive at sunset, order a cocktail, and feel the changing colors of the sky. Relax and unwind! Walking through the hotel, I was also attracted by the numerous works of art. The art gallery on the second floor displays works by local Cuban artists. In other public spaces, there are works by Latin American artists. The most impressive is a large-scale art installation designed by Pineda Cobalin, a Mexican artist, which is placed in different corners of the hotel. Also on the second floor, the El Arsenal lobby bar combines old and new architectural styles. The sunshine is just right at the moment, suitable for enjoying a cup of fragrant Cuban coffee. This is also a "cigar bar" full of Cuban characteristics. Confluencias Restaurant is our breakfast restaurant, offering international cuisine and exquisite breakfast. The San Cristobal Panoramic panoramic restaurant is located on the top floor, next to the outdoor swimming pool. Not only can you enjoy a panoramic view of Havana's old city, but the chef can also adjust the menu according to the customer's needs. After a day of wandering around the old city, don't forget to visit the hotel's spa: "Albear" by Resence. It is not only the best in Cuba, but also one of the top ten best spas in Latin America. 📍Tips： Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski La Habana Address: Calle San Rafael, La Habana, Cube
