GRAN HOTEL MANZANA KEMPINSKI LA HABANA: CELEBRATING VALENTINE'S AS THE ONLY LUXURY HOTEL IN THE CUBAN CAPITAL
Despite the current tense situation in the world of hospitality and travel, the only open luxury hotel in La Habana, Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski, sets the scene for a romantic Valentine’s celebration.
With spectacular views over the city, San Cristobal restaurant, on the rooftop terrace of the luxurious hotel, offers special dinners on 13 and 14 February as well as a lunch on St Valentine’s Day.
“We are not only one of the few open hotels in the city, but also one of the few restaurants which remain open these days,” states Xavier Destribats, Chief Operating Officer The Americas Kempinski Hotels and General Manager of the hotel in La Habana. “Even though occupancy is a long way from what we hoped for, we would like to offer our esteemed guests a romantic moment with their beloved ones in an ideal setting on our beautiful terrace. As the place to be in the heart of La Habana, we are happy to see so many residents and locals during the last few weeks flocking into our facilities to enjoy a drink by the pool or an elegant dinner with views. The curfew is still part of the governmental rules, but visitors have adapted their dining and drinking habits to an earlier time than usual.”
The special St Valentine’s dinners are starting at 6:00pm (lunch at 12:00 noon) and include a five-course menu with a welcome drink at USD 55 per person. Cuban residents who are eager to stay overnight are invited to experience a staycation package in a double room for the night of 13 or 14 February, which comes with the Valentine’s dinner and a breakfast for two at USD 360.
